If you have a setting saved to the key memory, everytime you disarm the car with the key remote, that saved setting will be activated before you enter the car.

Also if you put the car in reverse when you save the setting with the key in the ignition, turned on but not running, and push the "key" button to save the settings, next time you put the car in reverse the right mirror will "dip" to see the curb.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

'02 996 w/ 6 way adjustable seats: I adjust the driver side mirror and save the setting to memory and when I restart the car it has returned to its previous position. The passenger side saved the new location fine, only the driver side refuses to keep its setting, even if I save it to MEM1 and MEM2 and lock it. Anyone struggled with this problem or have any suggestions?

POST 2Original post

Ignition switch turned to the on position with the car off?

POST 4Original post

Did you make sure it's also saved to the "key" memory? If you have a setting saved to the key memory, everytime you disarm the car with the key remote, that saved setting will be activated before you enter the car. If you press M1 or M2, will the driver's side mirror switch to your saved setting? If not, it could be the control module under the seat going bad. Big $$$. ***assuming you are doing the memory setting procedure correctly.....

Quotes source post: 7254853

I did, but the car was running. I'll try tomorrow with the ignition on but the motor not running as Pac996 suggested. Thanks.

POST 6Original post

It's in the owners manual some place here online.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It works! Didn't realize the motor should not be running - it always saved my seat settings with the motor running. Thanks Pac996 and CosmosC4S for your input.

POST 8Original post

I don't think it matters if the engine is running or not. I have often done new memory settings with my mirrors and seat while I'm driving. Worked every time.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 7257739

Well it wouldn't work on mine for whatever reason although, like yours, it saved the seat settings and the right mirror. It must be something "outta whack or fixin' to break". Or perhaps Herculon waves from outer space! Oh well, the mirrors are set, saved, and I know how to change them if I want to - win, win, win. Thanks again for reminding me of the key setting.
