When you set up your memory seating 1 and 2 and "exit" the options are to go to position on recall when you open the doors (or i think unlock with fob) or when ignition is turned on.
To have the seat already moved up doesn't add for easy "entry"
My wife can't reach the clutch to the floor if the seat "is not" moved up first.
So
Is there a way to do this other than having to get in and hold down the 1 or 2 button. I know some cars do the seat move when the seatbelt is done up (smart).
The second thing is that I want the easy entry, can start the car and then have the seat move into my position. BUT, can i have the "recall memory function" on for key fob 1 but not have it set for key fob 2?

Kinda complicated but thanks for the help.

 

Some here have had a computer upgrade that will accomplish some of your desires? I personally have not and just hold the buttons until the seat reaches desired programmed position, either exit or entrance.

 

I have not had the "upgraded" software put in yet either. Still debating if it is an upgrade for me! This seat issue, with standard shift cars, has been around since the car was introduced. A poster complained enough he got GM's attention and they just provided a new option. However it is still not like the C6 which was simple and worked. So I also have learned to get in, push the return button I want with my left had, hold it in while pulling over the seat belt buckle with my right. It is easier to grab the seat buckle with your right hand with the seat in the exit position. Both done at the same time.
From what I understand, the new software will allow your wife to get in, push the start button but since she cannot reach the clutch with the seat in the exit position (either can I) the car won't start but the seat will move forward to her key fob number. Guess if she is quick, she can reach for the belt buckle while the seat is just moving from the exit position so it will be easier to grab with the right hand she just used to push in the start button! Then she has to push in the clutch and push the start button again to start the car.
When you get in you push in the clutch and I believe when you hit the start button, or like it does now when you just touch your seat number button once, your seat will move forward.
What I don't know is what happens when your wife is driving and you're in the passenger seat with your FOB in your pocket? How does the car know which one of you is driving!?
Since my wife does not drive the Vette and I am now used to my two hand, move the seat while connecting my seat belt multitasking multi-hand approach, I'll only find out when someone else posts the answer!
Now I do have my, full back, wheel up exit position programmed. When I open the door to get out, the seat and steering move as programmed. They also stay in that position until I start the multi-hand get ready to start sequence.
Will be interesting to see what is being offered for the 2015! Wonder if they returned to the C6 sequence that was more logical!

 

Get the software upgrade and the issue will be resolved. With the upgrade, you will have the option to recall the memory positions with a tap of the start button.

But the behavior is set for both fobs.

 

Perhaps I don't understand the upgrade, but after numerous posts and asking for clarification, I am told if you use the "ungraded" without the clutch engaged, when you hit the start key, it goes into the auxilliary mode and without touching the seat button, automatically goes to the seat position for the FOB in your pocket. Then you push the clutch in, then hit the start key again.
If in fact you have to first hit the start key to put the car in the auxilliary mode, then buckle the seat belt, then push the seat button once as you state, then push in the clutch, then hit the start key again, that is more button pushing than without the "upgrade."

 

No, that is wrong.

Before the reflash, if you press the START button, the car only goes into ACC mode without recalling a memory. You had to push AND HOLD the respective memory button in order to complete the recall cycle.

After the reflash, you press the START button, the car goes into ACC mode and the memory is fully recalled (without having to touch the memory button at all). Then step on the clutch pedal and start the car.

It is much better than before the reflash

 

Don't understand why my car which was built late July doesnt have the memory seat upgrade.

I would have thought that all new builds after the update was made available in late May would have come from the factory already upgraded.

 

Take your car to the dealer and ask for the software upgrade. It not only fixes the seat memory recall issue, it adds driver and passenger side view mirror settings when using reverse. The upgrade takes all of 10 minutes.

 

What was changed for rearview? (not there yet but guess it wasn't tied to 1/2, so we both have to deal with the same preferences

I had not gotten to the rear view tilt down stuff yet but I know I would have had an issue there too.
Glad to know there IS an update. I don't though really get the difference between getting in and hitting the 1/2 key or the start key (the only difference seems to be having to hold 1/2 vs "hit" start x2.
Can you still do it either way, just adding the option to do one button recall with the start button?

Thanks for all the input (i didn't figure on getting such good info so fast...it was hard to put into text...clearly though it was an issue experienced by many before.)

 

I just had the new reflash applied by the dealer. I now see the new option of memory "recall on ignition" but when I get in (with Parking Brake set) and push the ignition nothing happens. I still have to either push and hold the memory #1 button or push in the clutch, start the car and then i can just tap the #1 memory button.

This is no different from the original way it worked except for the added menu option.

What am I doing wrong??

 

It should work if you have the ignition choice selected, and the easy exit options enabled.

Maybe you have the number 2 FOB, and the #2 memory switch is programmed the same as the exit memory? Try setting #2 with the same settings as #1. This is just a guess, because as I said, it should work.

 

Bingo! Thanks for your help. That worked. I didn't think there was a difference in the key FOBs with the C7 because both of my FOBs have a "1" on the underside of the metal key.
