Just ordered a Macan, to taste.

I like it a lot. And finally, it's a color I very specifically chose, not something I settled for on a dealer's lot or otherwise.
Went to Ticonderoga yesterday, and Speculator today. Joy riding. Got Apple CarPlay going. I need to get that memory stuff straightened out. It will require even more parsing than for the garage door opener.

Dang, I just figured out why settings for all sorts of things were changing randomly, or so it seemed: they were stored on the key and imposed whenever I happened to unlock the door (even without the key). I'd never stored anything on the key myself, and where I live, I don't have to lock a car very often.
Not just the seat, mirror and those things, but nearly everything, it seems - all the detailed settings (the volume of various warning signals, radio station, LKA on or off, etc.).
I shall now make sure the two keys are distinguishable.
Those of you more familiar with newer cars are laughing at me, but I bet none of you could even get an old Austin-Healey started.

As for old British iron, my BT7 never let me down. (And I wager you are the only one here who even knows what that is!)

Part A:
1. Clear the factory settings by holding down C1 and C3 together until you see a flashing LED (C2's). C1, C2 and C3 are the names I've given to the overhead buttons.
2. Prepare to hit the magic button on your opener - get out a step ladder and find it. Rehearse a quick move into the car after hitting it - you may not have much time. If the door is up and you don't have another door to run out, lower it now. Trust me.
Part B:
0) The key must be on, but the engine should not be running.
1) Press C1 until you see a flashing LED (will always be the light for C2 - is that clear?)
2) Hold the remote in front of the right side of the car, a foot or two away. Press its button until you see the turn signals flash three times. The manual warns this might take over a minute (your remote's battery better be good), but mine took only a few seconds.
3) Assuming you have a rotating code opener, you must now press the magic button on the opener, race into the car and repeatedly press C1. I had to press mine about six times before the door moved.
Repeat Part B for C2 and C3.
No joy? Call your "ambassador" or whatever crazy name for him and threaten to give him a 9 on something on the survey. Mine said he'd do anything to avoid a 9.
After re-assignments due to the new car, here are the happy campers in the house garage, three in a space meant for two:
