Are the seat memory 1 and 2 settings tied to different key fobs?
It's late at night and I don't want to try it out. I was just thinking... is memory 1 and 2 tied to a specific key fob?
Maybe that's my problem.
My wife is not going to drive the car. Ever. Her choice. She has never driven any of my "toys". Even the easy ones to drive. So the Key #2 isn't an issue.
I was trying to set up the passenger seat for her.
Set it in memory in case it does get moved by other passengers.
The OM says nothing about the passenger settings.
I was wondering if I should set her setting on button 1 of the right door or #2?
The OM could be a lot more clear about the seat issue.

She has to set the passenger seat for herself from that door, memorize and recall with the passenger door button. Best NOT bring her #2 FOB with her!

Funny my wife has NEVER driven my 7 Vettes nor would ever try to start my 26 years old ProStreet Rod! The 1st 5 Vettes were standard shift like all my DDs since the Hot Rod I built in high school in 1959, a '41 Ford Coupe I stuffed in an Olds engine.
She can drive a standard shift. We had matching compact 8 speed standard shifts when we lived CT before moving to SC. Was at a time where you could only buy gas every other day in CT. When we moved in 1985 I had a Dodge Colt turbo with Plus 1 Pirelli P7s, suspension mods, Abarth exhaust etc. She had a Plymouth Champ (both made by Mitsubishi.) No AC on either so when we moved South bought her a 2 Dr sedan with an automatic. She had been so used to the more responsive standard shift compact she was driving, did not like the automatic. A year later we traded it for a Honda Accord with a standard shift! Recall Cale Yarborough, who lived in the area owned the dealership, came out to shake my hand at the purchase!
She liked the car but was back to an automatic in a new XJ6 Jag a few years later and never back to a standard shift. She would not drive the 1st 5 Vettes not because they were standard shift because was concern she might get a scratch. BUT I have tried to get her to drive my 2020 C8 and E-Ray just in case I'm stuck with her car somewhere etc. But she refuses for the same reason.
Also does not like riding in the Corvettes and seldom does. When we drive together I drive her BMW SUV. Just as well for me as I have to drive like the old dude I am and shut off the sound system when she is in the Vette. When I drive by myself, or my only frequent passage, my dog Remi', I turn 19, and drive fast. Remi' is much like Enzo in the movie "Racing in the Rain," he loves speed and my loud always on music!
BTW I lived with that Black compact Dodge Colt Turbo for two SC summers. Often came home from work soaking wet! Bought my 1st Vette in late 1987 primarily to get AC! That year only 15% ordered Vettes with a standard shift. GM had stopped making standard transmissions that could handle high hp. That trans was bought from Doug Nash and old Detroit Hot Hodder. He had an old GM 4 speed built and added an electrically operated OD in the tailshaft. Could activate with a button on top of the shifter in all but 1st gear. Got well spaced 7 speeds IF you split shifted like and 18 wheeler. Most probably did what I did 99% of the time, rowed thru 4 gears and pressed the OD button in 4th! It was the exact same cost as the slushbox automatic, just checked the Box you wanted. Only 15% of use got the standard shift according to Corvette Black Book data.
[The ProStreet Rod is rather difficult to start as first have to find the remote to open the electric door latch, no handles. Then, since it's seldom started going to a few Shows/year the 850 Holley Double pumper fuel will have evaporated from both fuel blows. The electric fuel pump only works when the engine is running (a safety built in the system) so I added a dash switch that activates the pump. Let it run for ~10 seconds and it fills the bowls. BUT don't press throttle pedal to the floor as it has two larger 50cc accelerator pumps (versus 30cc standard) I had to add to stop bog or hesitation at launch. If you try to start after a full pedal press, the car will flood and have to remove the spark plugs and clean as one or more plugs will foul. Press only half way so only the front pump will put enough raw gas in the manifold to start the 8.2 Liter Big Block and set the electric choke. Only then turn the key to engage the small, 5 to 1 geared starter.]
