If you have the memory option each FOB can be linked to one of the memory pre-sets for the seats, steering wheel and mirrors. Before you open the door all will automatically set to your personal setting. Look in the owner's manual for the set-up. My wife is 5'3" and I'm 6'1" and I can not even get in the car unless the seat is moved back, talk about sweet!

REALLY? This whole time I have been getting in the car and hitting my head and squishing my legs!

Instructions:

While holding down the desired memory button, press and hold either the lock or unlock button on the wireless remote control until you hear a beep.

can you adjust the time or increase the distance before the puddle lights on the side mirrors come on?

I don't know if you guys already answered the question about the auto-roll up windows but I have a 1IS (I'm new to the forum and just snooping around) and am totally with you guys on having everything done automatically or by remote. I know you guys don't have keys, but merely fobs, but I'm sure Autoloc.com could hook it up with something. Also, long ago, many cars ago I heard there was a way to reprogram your fob to do what you want, and add options at the expense of giving up a valet key. These days with cars, just remember, if they can do it, you can undo it, and redo it better. With technology always becoming more advanced, there's always a way.

Peace

Did you know... it's possible to lock the key fob inside!!! It happen to me twice already. I usually have my key fob in my bag and would toss it inside from the passenger side when leaving the gym always but twice recently it automatically locked me out. I went around to the driver side and while kind of holding the door handle it LOCKED on me. I couldn't do anything to unlock it. Even by pressing the button on the handle and putting my hand inside the handle where the sensors are but nothing. My phone was in the bag too so I had to go back inside the gym and use there phone to call to get my spare key. The second time it happen I was able to open it by holding the door handle.

Have you ever changed the battery on the key fob? It's likely that the battery is getting low and the sensors no longer detect that the key is inside the vehicle.
