I would assume there is some type of memory module or a module that can read and store seat and steering wheel positions. You would probably need that for the buttons to work and connect to. I think that would be a good start. Find out how the drivers seat works and see if you could add the same equipment to the pass. seat. I was wondering the same thing the other day too. It would be cool to have a memory function for the pass. seat kinda like the S.

that's a great idea.... I've got so many different people walking in and out of my car it would be awesome to have a memory seat..... out of the factory... don't the passenger and driver seat behave differently?

passenger side: when you lean the back so people can get in the back, the seat automatically moves foward... but the driver side doesn't.... I don't know what controls it...... good luck with it though...

Wont be cheap, but what about sourcing Soarer parts? You could get the wooden trim panel, even the extra lumbar controls & height control that the driver's seat has...

Both my seats have lumbar and lumbar controls. Actaully it has the height controls too. My pass. seat is identical to the drivers seat except the pass will move to a default position if move it forward to let a person in the back seat but the drivers seat doesnt budge at all which I guess is a good thing. I thought all SCs had height and lumbar controls on the pass seat and driver seat.
