Default Driver Settings

Stupid question:

Two key fobs, one for me and one for my wife. Assigned driver to each fob, including seat setting adjustment. When I leave the vehicle, and later my wife gets in with her key, why does the seat setting go back to my stored position and not hers? Does the PCM not recognize seat positions by the appropriate Key fob? Each position is assigned a setting in the door seat memory pad and I have done this while having the appropriate key in the vehicle while doing so: key one ---> set to Memory 1; key 2 ---> set to Memory 2. And yet...

Is there a Key button underneath the 1 and 2 buttons on the door the way there is in the Panamera? If so, you have to press the Key button along with 1 or 2 in order to tell the car that you're assigning it to a fob, as opposed to just button 1.

The settings are retrieved when the cayenne is unlocked. If you park in your garage unlocked, the next driver needs to lock the Cayenne first.

No, it does not. It's just 1,2, 3 buttons for three settings.

Ah, that makes sense. That's probably it! I'll try it tonight, and if that doesn't work, I'll surrender to ignorance.

If it's at all like the 958 series - the key memory is only saved to the keys when the key fob is used to lock the car. So - have your wife setup the car her way, save it to something like Position#2 - then have her get out of the car and lock it using the lock button on the key. That should do it. At least it does on the 958.
