Automatic programming to move seat back for easy entry and exit

[djikigai]

Interesting, I assume you bought it used?

Yeah I bought it used but it never did it at the start, only started doing it recently.

The only things i've done since then has been MHD, TCU tune and Bimmercode for Screen to be brighter.

Does what, exactly?

Whenever i turn off the car and open the door it'll move the seat back all the way and then whenever i get in and start the car it'll move to Memory 1 (Kinda it about 2 inches short of where it should actually be)

Do you have the key fob / driver profile memory thingy turned on in the iDrive?

Yeah I've got the key fob driver profile turned on.

When i turn it off, the seat still moves backwards when i jump out of the car upon unlocking the door but doesn't move back forward when i jump in, with it on it'll move forward close to the memory 1 position.

I've tried resetting my driver profile and etc but makes no difference.

That’s what’s causing the seat to move, not any coding that was done.

Only time my seat ever moves is when someone uses my spare key(driver 2 settings)

Wait so how can we get seat to move like that?

Turn off the car or the profile?
The car on or the profile on?

I did another (very) quick search in the BMW forums and couldn't find any new experimentation with comfort entry coding. A while ago I messed around with it a bit and had it half working but ran out of time and patience. I'm pretty sure it can be coded into our cars, but nobody has figured it out just yet.

I didn’t think you could set a position that causes it to go all the way back on unlock?

The profile, but regardless of profile off or on it’ll always move back from whatever position I have it in when I turn off the car and open the door, I’ll try film a video and explain it abit better.

Video 1: sliding back when door is opened and video of it sliding back forward when car is started. If only i could get to set it to the correct spots would be nice, slide all the way back which is good but when it goes back forward it about 2 inches short of where it needs to go (Position 1)

Video 2: I've just noticed also if i have the window down when i turn off the car and go to open the door the windows automatically go up.

Would be nice to know what actually causing these features/functions to happen

^^^ What are your profile settings or car settings causing this?

Profile set is the same as every other car, remember seat position and that the only option that lets you save under profile.

Well this is a mystery! Good to know it can be done, somehow.

Now to work out how..
