Question for you....

Should key profiles be linked to electric seat memories? Tried to set mine and wife's keys up to our stored seat positions but doesn't seem to work. Always happened on my old Merc..

What settings are saved in the driver profiles?

Many of the settings defined in the car will be saved automatically in the active driver profile unless the profile is protected. In the car, the settings defined are either personal or global. Only personal settings are saved in driver profiles.

Settings that can be saved in a driver profile include, amongst other things, screens, mirrors, front seats, navigation, audio and media system, language and voice control.

Some settings, referred to as global settings, can be changed but are not saved to a specific driver profile. Changes to global settings affect all profiles.

Global settings

The global settings and parameters are not changed when changing between driver profiles. They remain the same regardless of which driver profile is active.

Keyboard layout settings are an example of global settings. If driver profile X is used to add additional languages to the keyboard, these remain available for use even if driver profile Y is used. The keyboard layout settings are not saved to a specific driver profile - the settings are global.

Personal preferences

If driver profile X was used to e.g. set centre display brightness, driver profile Y is not affected by this setting. It has been saved to driver profile X - the brightness setting is a personal setting.

Access the profile settings thru settings, system, driver profiles.

So assuming then that seat positions should be able.to be saved then?

Absolutely. I go to setting, system, drivers profiles and uncheck protect. I then adjust my seat, save it to memory 1 or 2 then link it with key in use in the profile and protect it. Get the other key and do the same. It worked for me. Some on here have had trouble though.

Could be where I'm going wrong then, didn't note the protect option. Will they once back in the UK

Nice feature, but mistakenly omitted all passwords and connections like Bluetooth, hotspots, Spotify.
