Is it possible to make seat position memory buttons work while the car is moving/the shift is not in the parking position?

 

i think so....

 

^^^ really, let me know how then

 

I don't believe it's possible. Only works when in park.

 

Nothing's impossible, but they only work in park as configured from the factory. I consider this a good thing. Just imagine the lawsuits that would follow if they worked while the car is in the motion. This sort of goes along with watching DVDs on the nav screen...not a good idea when you're supposed to be driving.

 

some of the older cars had memory seats that operated regardless of speed, don't see any lawsuits there..

 

Those cars were probably made before the downward spiral of morality and personal accountability in America. You can pretty much divide the timeline up as pre/post lawsuit against McDonald's for hot coffee.

 

As far as I learned the schemas, the speed signal is got by the controller from the CAN network, the same way as the other parameters. So, it looks like its impossible...

 

Seriously, how often do you need to set the memory that you need it to work when in motion?

 

Sorry...this is one of my pet peeves.... the McDonalds lawsuit was the exact opposite of lawsuit greed.... the women received 3rd degree burns, needing skin grafts and over 2 years of medical treatment... McDonalds had had -700- previous complaints about serious burns and did nothing, and kept their coffee, franchise-wide 40-50 degrees hotter than some other franchises, at a temp that caused 3rd degree burns within 2-7 seconds.

Further, the woman asked for nothing originally except the cost of her medical bills (around 10-20k), and McDonalds offered her $800. The womans attorney made a couple other offers to settle for relatively small amounts after the case was filed and before the trial started, again McDonalds refused.

So a jury found them willfully negligent (because they were and had literally hundreds of opportunities to fix the problem previously) and awarded punative damages in the amount of roughly 2 days worth of franchise coffee sales.


There's certainly plenty of silly lawsuits and awards made in the US- but that wasn't one of em...
