memory seats
Is there a way to get the electric drivers seat to automatically go into memory position or do you have to press "1" or "2" everytime? it automatically goes into exit position when i open the door, but doesn't go into "Drive" position.

yes, it is matched to your fob.
Look on the back of the fob, you will see 1 or 2
get in the car, start the car or go into accessory mode, position everything the way you want it, and hold the number down (that matches the fob) until you hear a beep.
If done correctly, everything will return to that position when the car starts with that fob nearby.
Do similar to set the exit position so everything retracts (including steering wheel) when the engine is turned off.
Or, look in the owners manual, that works well also.

Maybe he has an automatic, and I think that's the way the automatic works.
Butt.......If you have a manual transmission, you have to push the 1 or 2 button everytime you get in to get it to go to that memory position. Also, the parking brake must be set.
With the manual transmission, you have to push the clutch in to start the car. If your exit memory position is with the seat way back, the General wants you to get in , and with the parking brake set, push the 1 or 2 button to get your seat up in driving position before you push in the clutch to start the car.
When you exit the manual transmission car, put it in reverse, pull the parking brake on, shut down the ignition, then when you open the door the seat will go to your exit memory position.

Yep, with the 6-spd, you have to press the button for driving position (while the hand brake is on). With the auto, just press the start button, don't have to have the hand brake on.

I don't have a C6 yet. Waiting for my Z06. I imagine that will have the same convoluted setup.

You gotta push a button 
I get exhausted just thinking about it before I get in If you want, I will be glad to handle this task for you at the minimal charge of driving the Z06 for you (that way you won't even have to shift)

Boy, talk about being big-hearted, and no monetary charge at all. You're sure you won't get too tired pushing that button in?

Memory Seats?
My memory seat (6sp) loses it's memory from time to time. I set it for exit position, then set it for driving position. It will retain those settings for awhile, then it will establish a new exit position and driving position. I've had it go from being too close to not being close enough. The constant so far has been that the total travel from exit to drive remains the same, i.e. if I need 6 inches of total travel it will retain that dimension but the starting/stopping points will vary. I can also cause this to happen if I have to readjust the seating position, that is without programming the door buttons.
Anybody else have this problem?

And crushes your 6'7" mechanic. There's alot of things about the C6 that make no sense at all. For an MN6, this is one of the few things that DO make sense...
