Cannot believe it took me so long to fix it. The manual certainly didn't help. In a nutshell, turns out the culprit was the way I set the "easy exit." So easy I will let my enthusiastic daughter explain it for you! Hope this helps someone out, because it was driving me crazy not having the seat/steering wheel go to the presets I set! Enjoy!
Note: this is on an automatic 2014. The 2015 procedure is largely the same except that you can set your presets by pressing "set" first and then either "1" "2" or the exit icon. In the 2014 you MUST press the "set" and 1, 2, or exit simultaneously or you will not get the confirmation beep!

UPDATE #1: If you have an M7, there is a software fix (See the complete information in post #66) that the dealer can apply for you that ads the option for the seats to go to the presets upon pressing the start button rather than when you open the door. Finally!!

UPDATE #2: To figure out which FOB is for which pre-program follow the instructions in the video and set up both #1 and #2 (and the exit of course). You want to make #2's setting distinctly different from #1 in order to test this. Then bring only ONE of the FOBs to the car and press the unlock button on the FOB. Get in the car and press the start button. The car will move to one of the presets. Then press the start button again (to turn the accessories off; you don't actually have to start the car to do this), exit the vehicle and lock it. Grab the other FOB and use it to unlock the car and then get in and press start. It should go to the other preset setting. Now it is just a matter of marking the FOBs with a little colored dot or buying covers for them from an online store in order to tell them apart! Hope that solves the mystery for those trying to set both presets.

Well done, maybe Ginger could get a job with Chevrolet doing demos for new owners.

 

Great tip. Good job explaining the issue and solution.

 

I'll be damned, I can't wait to try this! Well done, "That Cute Ginger" does good work. Thanks BH!

 

Wow!! Thanks. I wish I knew this when I brought the car home last April. The Auto settings drove me so nutty, I just turned the whole damned feature off. Now, I can't wait to give this a try...

 

Good Job explaining that!

 

Your daughter is a sharp young lady with an excellent grasp of the C7. Glad you are encouraging her to get involved with the car. She will make a fine future Corvette owner!

Many thanks to Ginger for clarifying what has been an ongoing mystery for many on the forum. Her presentation was crisp, clear, to the point, and far more helpful than the documentation provided by GM.

 

Thanks everyone. She is really enjoying learning about various cars; it's exciting for a dad! If anyone has any specific questions or needs any clarification let me know. It worked for me and has been working for over a week now EVERY time I get in. Have a great week!

 

I think she deserves an hour later on her curfew!

 

Gotta love the Forum. Thanks for sharing.

 

Well done.

 

This is awesome. Thanks for the video.

 

Awesome, thanks Ginger!

 

Great job, thanks Ginger!

Chev Customer Service, this simple video is an example of what is needed by your customer!

My settings were programmed by my salesman during delivery and never seemed to work as well as my C6, I cannot wait until Spring to start the car and finally correct the seat settings.

Please provide additional instructional videos for the other many settings that many of us tech-challenged owners could benefit by!

 

I had already given up, (though I never had any problem with vettes before 2014.)

 

Thank you so much for finally posting an easy solution for what has been an extremely frustrating problem for many of us!

 

Agreed! I had my C5 for 10 years Andre memory settings worked like a champ. I was very frustrated trying to do something that should be so simple when I got the C7 and now am very happy again!

 

Excellent and well explained. Definite "high paying" future potential in the "How To" video market!!!!!!!

 

never really played with the exit seat settings...maybe I'm not old enough to care about the seat position when getting out of the car

I'll play with it later. My C6 is more of a PITA to get out of since it's lowered than my C7.
