Question about memory settings
I have my DIC programmed to utlilize the easy out function on my seat, steering wheel. I've noticed that sometimes when I get back in the car and put my key in, my memory setting kicks in and the seat and steering wheel adjusts/telescopes to the preset memory. Other times, it doesn't and I have to push the memory button on the door. What gives? Why the inconsistent operation? Am I doing something wrong? It would appear so.

If you push the unlock button on your fob the memory for that fob will activate when you put your key in. If you left your car unlocked when you left and just opened the door to get in, it doesn't know who you are so it does nothing.

I also have an '05 Cadillac CTS-V with memory seats that operate a little different, they always move to the last driver position.

Dennis is right - that's how mine works! I have a '98.
