EVRose,
yes... I am positive.
In fact I do not have an "Auto memory recall" option.... I only have "Auto Exit" option.
Realize... I had an '07 C6... I don't recall it having this option at all.
I have a '14.... it has exit function and it works great....
open the door, and the seat goes into "Exit" position.

This has me baffled.
NTMD8R: There are 3 motors mounted on the seat rack each one has its function. I'm thinking that one of them is to move your seat for exit. There is a member here 'DANO 553' that would have the diagram on what each motor does.
I use Fob #1 to start, and drive the car.
But it won't do the Seat Exit, after I turn the engine off and set the Park brake.
Opening the door doesn't do it, nor does pressing the button.
So let's use Fob #2.
Guess what... it works.
Turn engine off, set park brake, open door.... seat moves.
Or, turn car off, set park brake, press button, seat moves.
So... even though the Fobs are both working to start and drive the car,
obviously Fob #1 isn't doing the Seat Exit.
Hmmmmm.... maybe the Fob battery just isn't enough ?
Maybe it's run down a bit too much for that specific operation.
So, we can test this... put a new battery in the Fob.
Unfortunately the previous owner(s) "buggered" up the fob, so to
open it up requires separating the halves which have been glued together.
Therefore, putting them back together is a challenge.
I have ordered a new Fob, and will program it,and of course install a new battery,
and see how that works.
I do however suspect that my problem has just been a weak Fob battery.
(Enough to start/drive the car, and do the seat setting for driver number 1,
but not enough to do the seat exit).

The fob battery has nothing to do with it. Once you start the car, you could throw the fob in a dumpster and drive away. As I posted earlier, we do not yet know if fob #1 is actually fob #1. Having "1" printed on it means nothing. If it is actually #3 or #4 then this all makes sense.

Yep! And I said the same thing back on post #5 and again on #16. It's the only thing that made sense to me too. Glad you figured it out. It's always something simple.
OK, how to determine what number my fob #1 actually is ?
And.... are you saying that any fobs other than #1 and #2 will NOT work the seat exit ?
When you start the car what shows immediately on the dic? Unless someone changed it it should say what fob number you have in your hand. See my post number 16.

Exactly. And fobs #3 and #4 will only open and start the car...they will not allow settings to be associated with them. They are sort of "valet keys". The fact that a fob is crunched up makes me think that maybe the ones you have are not 1 and 2.
This is deceiving. It says if a fob not LABELLED 1 or 2 is used, the personalization system will not recognize it. It should say If a fob is not PROGRAMMED to the car as 1 or 2 it will not recognize it.
Well, in this case, mine have both been programmed as 1 and 2,
because I can set all the options for both of them.
And when I start it up using both, it welcomes me to the correct name
for whichever one is in the car.
Which brings me back to my original problem.
Use one fob and the Seat Exit works... use the other one, and it does not.
So again.... maybe battery strength????

Nope. If it was battery strength, the DIC would say NO FOB DETECTED, OFF OR RUN when you went to turn off the engine. When you turn off the engine, the car looks for a valid fob in the car. If you had tossed it in the dumpster after starting the car and driving away, the car is giving you one chance to restart it without having a fob there. After that one chance, the car is dead and you have to go back and fish the fob out of that dumpster.
I have an '06 manual. The instructions state to put the car in reverse and set the parking brake when shutting the car down and when you open the drivers door, the seat should go to your pre-set. Mine is set to retract for easy exit.
Alright..... if I read and FOLLOW the instructions... guess what... it works !!!!
Using Fob # 1, enter the car.
Press #1 button to get the seat as for #1 person (as previously set).
Turn car on.
Now set the Easy Exit position(s) for #1.
(Hold button so it beeps twice).
Don't bother to start car, just turn it off.
Set Parking Brake
Open door.... DUH !!!!!! it goes to the Easy Exit Position just set.
Now I have it set for both Fobs.
Sorry guys for all the hassle.... I just couldn't figure it out.
Obviously it wasn't set for Fob #1 before, and when I had set it earlier,
I hadn't let it know that this is for Fob #1.
The fob battery has nothing to do with it. Once you start the car, you could throw the fob in a dumpster and drive away. As I posted earlier, we do not yet know if fob #1 is actually fob #1. Having "1" printed on it means nothing. If it is actually #3 or #4 then this all makes sense.
So now, again, I can't get it to work.
Yes the car battery has been disconnected.
But I have set all the seat positions since then.
I followed my own instructions as per my last post in that thread,
but it will NOT work.
I do keep getting 3 beeps when I press the exit button on the door,
and I don't know what that means or what it is telling me.
And it doesn't work for both fobs.
Both fobs have been re-programmed to the car,
and both have good batteries.
The DIC says whomever is in the car as per DIC settings when
I press either door button, so that is all working.
Pressing either door button (1 or 2)brings things to where they have
been set.
But NOTHING takes the seat back to the set exit position.....
pressing the door button, or opening the door (yes the parking brake is set), or whatever.
I've only had my car a week, and I don't even have a manual, so pulled up a PDF. As far as I could find, the only thing that sets the exit position of the seat is the middle of the three buttons.
I put my car into accessory mode, set seat, mirror, and steering wheel position where I wanted it, had Fob 1 in hand, pressed and held button 1 on the door until I heard the beeps. Then, I moved the seat back about 4" to make it easier to get in/out, and pressed the middle of the 3 buttons on the door until it beeped. That was it.
Since it worked, I did not look for alternative methods.
Exactly. And fobs #3 and #4 will only open and start the car...they will not allow settings to be associated with them. They are sort of "valet keys". The fact that a fob is crunched up makes me think that maybe the ones you have are not 1 and 2.
