'05 Q45 - Seat memory question

[iamthewalrus]

I programmed my 1 & 2 seat memory locations. When I push the "Set" button the 1 & 2 light up for ~5 seconds, which according to the manual means they are set correctly. However, when I push either of the buttons, the seat does not move at all. I have the "Lift steering column when exiting vehicle" and the "Adjust driver seat when exiting vehicle" in the "Vehicle Electronic Systems" set to "off". Do I need those options selected for the seat memory to work, or is there a problem with my seat memory system?

Setting should be "ON" to enable feature. Should work after being set in ON position. Good Luck.

Yeah...that did it! Not crazy about the automatic seat pull back, but if that's the price for having 2 memorized seats, so be it. Thanks alot for your help!

I have a quick question, if that is ok. How do you set that to "On"?? It seems every so often, usually after my car battery has died, and I've recharged it (but not every time), my seat will stop going back automatically, and the steering wheel will stop rising. Also, when I put the key in, the seat will no longer move forward, and the steering wheel will no longer go down. I do not have the "cancel" button pushed in. If the Original Poster would be so kind as to tell me how he fixed his issue, I would be much appreciative. I'm new to the Q, so please have some patience with me! I do not have any OBD tools if this is what is being used. Is it possible for me to reset the ECM another way, or are there any other tricks to reset the ECM, if that is what needs to be done?

I would suggest to get a new battery and or start car every few days and let it warm up. You do not want your electronic key to reset and your NATS system not recognize, you then have to get to dealer to reprogram.
