This memory crap sucks!
 

Look I'm an old guy that loves Corvettes - I got this '08 last week and has the 4LT options that includes "memory" seat/mirror and lord knows what else - I tried reading the owner's manual to get a handle on how all this works - I get into it when my ADD kicks in and I get nowhere - I just want the seats to quit moving around - stop this memory crap - can it be done in some simple manner - thanks.

If you want to stop the seats, etc, from moving around when you get into and out of the car you can turn off Auto Memory Recall. That setting is in the DIC Personal Options Menu. (Option button to right of steering wheel). See DIC Vehicle Personalization in Owners Manual. I eventually decided to turn this off too.

Pump the brakes, old man (I'm probably older than you :yesnod:). Once you set the seat position and "memorize" it the seat should not move around at all...unless the "exit" position has been set in the DIC.
When I bought my first C6 I sat in the seat with the owners manual (and a toddy) and read some, touched some, and got a handle on it.

You need a millennial to show you how to change settings on the program. They can program the readout to say "Hi Old Man" every time you start the car.

Now that's just being a butt...:lol::lol::lol:

:rofl: :rofl: pretty clever...……………. :D now to see how I can add that to mine...…….. :woohoo:

:confused2: isn't there an old saying...….. "if the shoe fits, wear it".…..………. :leaving:

welcome to the wonderful age of electronics...….. :ack: :ack: :crazy2:

Not sure about that, but there is a story about the Flew Bird. Seems every time the Flew Bird crapped on somebody's head the person died. The moral to the story is...if the Flew shits, wear it. :lol:

I may seriously consider reprograming mine to say "Hi Old Man" instead of "Chevrolet Performance"...………… that is too funny

although no one besides you and I have driven mine...……. :eek: :hide:

I'm old too, so it's ok

I was a bit frustrated with the Memory seats, as well. But only for one day. Look at Page 10 in the manual. Just set the mirrors, steering wheel telescope and seat where you want it. And then push the "1" button on the door, and hold it, until you hear the two beeps. Easy peasey.

This is only if YOUR key fob is number 1. If your wife's key fob is number 1 (hey, could happen) and yours is number 2, then press the "2" button. Numbers are on the back of the key fobs.

I've done that - but the seat still moves when I start the car - I just want everything to stop moving - I came into the computer world using "punch cards" - and it was called Data Processing then (1969).
LOL
Thanks

What will really piss you off is when you decide to use the other key fob and have to re-do everything again.
LOL

You can set up each key fob for different radio, hvac, mirror and seat settings.

Good luck!

I programmed my wife's key to say "Hi Honey"; although she didn't enjoy driving it much especially after going boosted.

Sounds pretty X-rated, What you do in your car should be between you and your car, TMI! :rofl:

:iagree:....And I wonder if what they were reading/looking at was really the manual ??......:woohoo:

My issue with the memory function is it decides what/when it remembers. No matter how many times I set it, save everything, it will still decide it's own final placement and I have to readjust everything. It'll remember for a couple cycles then completely change on me.

Just set the "exit" position the same as your driving position. Since the "exit" position and driving position will be the same, nothing will move.

OK, how about Get OFF The Grass! :D
