Easy Entry / Exit
How does the memory seat work in this car. In the C5 the seat moved into position when you put the key in the ignition, and all of the way back when you pulled the key out. This was very convinient. Is their the same system in the C6, and how would it work?

I really don't see how I can explain it further. Is there some more direct and simple way to say that the easy exit/entry button is on the door? I find your sarcasm amusing.
Shall I describe the proper operation of the button? You press it.

Just as on the C5, the easy entry/exit can be modified in the DIC.

LOL relax, my reaction was the same. Newbies to the Corvette... my first thought was the button to open the door
. I was not aware there was a dedicated button for the function of making it easier to get out (moving the seat and all). This is extremely helpful. In my current car, VW R32, I am afraid the seats will take a harsh beating unless I manually push it all the way back... it is a pain as there is no memory function to get the seat back in my setting... so another plus for the Corvette! Thanks!!!

Memory seats / wheel / mirrors
I thought I read that the memory settings were also keyed to the different key FOBs... whichever one entered the drivers side caused that FOB's memory number settings to be activated?
So, two FOBs, two memory settings. FOB #1 gets in the driver's side and memory #1 settings for the seat, steering wheel and mirrors get recalled... ditto for FOB #2?
Or am I dreaming?
