Memory Seats And Key Fob

[OldTrout]

2007 GS450h. My wife and I have very different driving seat positions and the memory seats are very useful.

Now our second key has come I thought I would link her driving position to her key and my position to my key.

I followed the instructions in the Quick Guide but cannot get it to work. With seat left in her position opening the car with my key does not result in seat moving to my position and vice versa.

I searched on the forums and found one suggestion that I should be in car with door shut when I did the linking (instead of on pavement with door open). This mention of the door being shut is in the full Owners Manual but not in the Quick Guide.

Alas this did not work either.

Any suggestion please?

I don't know if etiquette forbids answering my own question but I have solved the problem.

I tried "canceling the linked door unlock operation". There didn't seem any logic to this as the problem was it wouldn't link. What was there to unlink? However when I tried linking again (with the door shut) it had worked!

Now each key is linked.

This is such a convenience if your two driving positions are different. My wife and I got used to the convenience of memory seats with our old '98 GS and they were fairly near the top of our requirements list for a replacement car. That fact a position can be linked to a key is an added bonus.

Now if only Lexus could come up with an electrically adjusted rear-view mirror.

Has any car maker managed this yet?
