Smart Key Confusion by ddkavanagh

My wife and I swap driving on trips in our new M35. The smart keys are set up to set the seats for each of us. I'm 6'2" and she's 5'3". When we both are carrying our smart keys sometimes the seats will set up for her when I get in and I can't squeeze in to reset things. She has to get out and get away from the car. Anybodfy else have this problem? The dealer couldn't help. Any suggestions?

kind of defeats the purpose, but have you tried putting your fob in the port in the dash? That might override the conflicting signals. I'm not sure where the receiver/transmitter is, so if she plays with where she keeps her purse, that may make a difference as well.

It must be funny when the seat sets up for you and she is going to drive...if she can reach the pedals or steering wheel We have the same problem.
 
I now glance at the seat and if it's wrong I just push button 1 and yell at my wife for getting in first or putting her pocketbook on the center console. One trick I've learned is to get in the car first. Once you're in, the seat won't reset if it sees another fob. I have also been known to "accidentally" set her memory button to my settings.

I also had that problem with the smart key, I removed my wifes link to the smart key. Has anyone heard of the car thieves accessing the cars with this feature with a portable computer to gain access and just drive away. I heard a report that this was going on in Europe.

Does the seat and steering wheel automatically set itself back to the Memory position associated with the fob just by "seeing" the fob or do you need to push one of the buttons on the fob to have it set?
 
I know you can hold down the "1" button on the side if you have programmed it, just checking on the recognition deal by the fob...thanks!

Use the remote by beemermichael

I wonder if you use the remote feature to unlock the car rather than the proximity detector, that wouldn't take care of your problems, set the memory, etc.?
 
The thing is a great convenience, but it does act a little weird sometimes.

You have to specifically link each key to one memory position. (Sounds like you night have done that, but I'd double check that in the manual to be sure. Page 3-28) Once that's done, the the seats will move to their respective position, only when you use the button on the linked fob to open the door, (not when using the door handle button), as beemermichael suspected.

Thanks, Pete for the suggestion that we use the button on the linked fob in order to get the right position on the seat and mirrors. My wife and I share the car and I have been opening the car by pressing the handle. As a result the seats/mirrors adjust only half the time and I was going to note this at my next service call. Curious as to how you learned this as I haven't seen it in the manual.

On p 3-28 in the manual there's a section entitled:
Linking Intelligent Key to a stored memory position
 
After explaining how to link the key to a specific memory position, the last paragraph in that section says:
 
[while the ignition is in a locked position] press the UNLOCK button on the Intelligent Key. The driver's seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors will move to the memorized position.

It IS pretty easy to miss things in that manual.

Thanks. I was wondering why my seat and steering wheel did not always position themselves too...using the button on the door methodology. That seems to be a bit of a omission since it defeats the purpose of keeping the fob in your pocket all the time.
