Quuestion About Powered driver Seat Memory
After finally getting the driver's seat and mirrors where I like them, I find that this position makes it a bit difficult to enter/exit the vehicle. (I'm 5'8", so the seat's relatively far forward and raised.)
Before exiting, I move the seat back and lower it. But every time that I enter the car (unlocking the doors via remote -- which is how I prefer it), I find that the seat's already moving back into the memorized position by the time I open the door. I'd prefer to have it move into position after I enter the car.
Is there a way to not have the seat move into the memorized position, until my butt is safely in it?
I was going to try turning the Driver 1 button on the driver side door off, but wasn't sure whether this would lose the memory setting altogether. (The manual wasn't clear on this. -- At least it's not clear to me.) Note that I'm not using the Driver 2 remote at this point at all.
Any help with this would be appreciated.

Okay this is easy to solve.
First set driver 2 as the position you want to sit in, Next set driver 1 as far back and down as possible allowing you to enter the car easily. When ever you unlock with remote one, the seats will push back allowing you to enter easily. When you get into the car, press seat position number 2 and the car will then adjust to your driving position. When you leave the car, you can leave or press memory 1 for it to adjust so you can get out easily.
This would be the way to do it, however, you'd have to press it yourself once you get in, and its not really good to the seats motor to always push +100 lbs or so everytime you step into the car, you might wear out the seat motor.

Does unlinking the keyfob result ONLY in the seat no longer AUTOMATICALLY moving into memorized position when I unlock the car? Or does the position itself get erased from memory?
In other words, can I still move the seat into memorized position, once I'm sitting in it, by just hitting the Driver 1 button in the driver's side door?
Thanks!

if so, then i would say unlink the key fob.....when you get out....move the seat all the way back and down. it will be in that position when you get back in. and then press the memory button when you get back in. i highly doubt that causes that much stress on the motor, since power seats always had people sitting in the seats while moving them. i dont see what the big deal is.

I don't think it'll be a huge problem for the motor, however, the motors weren't designed to move someone to the right position everytime they get in and everytime they get out. (which is why they move the the right position before you even open the door). Im sure the motor can handle, but, just like everything in the world, increaseing stress on it will cause it to wear faster.
