To Chevy Customer Service: Kelly and Marissa. I think it would be very helpful if u could post the PM U sent me to this thread, unless there are corporate or legal reasons why you cannot.

This information is very helpful and should probably be incorporated in a manual update. Although some reprogramming regarding when the auto driving memory position on the M7 cars should probably occur first. Thanks much for your help!

 

I have never had to hold the clutch down to get as it is call an "unsupervised" press to work?...But with m7 the car must be started first&parking brake set to get the "unsupervised" press to work...kind of tuff in the exit position and being 5 9...Lol...I would think if they went back to the way the memory seats worked on c6 it would be much better on manual cars!

 

Vete,

I agree and have been talking with Marisa. Apparently the designer did not think of the people that can not reach the clutch to start the car before the seat could be moved with one touch. I believe this is what has confused everyone. Most, including myself would think you would move the seat where it needs to be before you would think of touching the clutch ,let alone start the car. The parking brake on, in gear and not started would be the time to move the seat
Hope there is a way this could be reprogrammed.

 

My last communication with Marissa stated ( I will forward the reprogramming suggestion to one of our internal resources.)

 

I did one better sent the plant manger an email with specifics about this exact memory seat m7 situation....still waiting for his or any another cc'd peoples response about this!

 

After reading these posts, I am more confused than ever. Can someone from GM just post the correct procedure?

 

the problem is that GM will simply continue to post the instructions. however, they do not work once your seat goes all the way back! I just got mine back from the dealer and their "fix" was to wait for GM to write the correct program.... RU kidding!!!??? also I found it interesting that when I picked car up and read the "receipt" they wrote:
customer had concerns that seats not holding memory.
unable to duplicate concerns.

I asked the service manager about this because I had brought it to him 2 times before where I showed him what was going on and he couldn't get it to work (this was not an official service, just stopped in).

he said that the seats worked for the service tech. I then urged him to bring tech over, lets go to car and I'll show him what's not working and he said "dont' worry, we'll getcha fixed up when the patch comes in"

then it dawned on me. They, dealer, do not want a blemish on their service record. the way they worded my documentation made it appear that since they couldn't find problem they more or less fixed it.

I want it to go on record with GM that I'm having issues and so far only my useless phone calls are the only records that anything is wrong with my vehicle.

I'm going to take seat out and look at this so called "bulkhead contact switch" and bypass it. if I can manually moved the seat all the way back then there shouldn't be a problem with it "putting stress on the harness" as previously stated.
IMHO

will let you know how it goes

 

Just order the 1lt and forget the memory seats. Corvette number 7 just purchased. I never use the memory seats, mirrors ,or heated seats, last but not the HUD another item not needed.
Taking the seat out of your new car? that would suck!

 

I really believe that the variability of this problem has to do with the different height or leg length of the various operators. Now that I understand the bulkhead "deadman's" switch, I have no further problems with the memory positions. Just make sure the seat back does not tilt or slide to the rear stop at any time during each memory program.

This does not, of course, solve the silly design issue with the M7 cars where auto memory recall of driving position occurs upon door opening before you are even in the car. But this is not a malfunction. It was designed that way.

 

The height and leg length is a lot of the problem, but so is the girth (nice way to put it). There is no way I could ever start to get in the car with the driver seat where I need it for my 29" inseam. If the car senses the fob why couldn't the M7 "s be set up like the autos with the door shut option.

 

The memory button is mentioned to set easy exit. I have a LT1 and do not have a memory button. Dose any one have a any idea how I would set this up?

 

glad to see nothing has changed from C6Z06 to C7

hope you get it figured out
