Anyone manage to code this? Using 2/3/4 Series or Expert Mode? Wonder if the capability is built into our seats, but is inactive...

My wife's Kia Telluride has this available, and I turned it off through the settings on the dash after having it a couple weeks. On a 4 door vehicle, the doors are short enough you can open them up to a wider angle in order to slide into the seat. Also, on a vehicle like that, the side bolsters are almost non-existent, and that makes getting in and out a lot easier. With a coupe, the doors are so long, I can only open the door to the second detent before it hits her car. With the seat in its "normal" position, it doesn't leave a lot of room to slide in, and with the bolsters closing that gap even more, I started worrying about the longevity of the fabric on day one. I've though about sliding the seat all the way back when getting out, and next time getting in simply hitting number 1 for the seat memory, but this would be fantastic if the car did this on it's own. I was in my 20's when I had my last 2 door, and was a little thinner and a lot more limber back then.
If this is figured out, it will convince me to join the group here who codes their cars.

This has been covered before. Don’t think this is possible.

Yeah I searched and read, but with each new model year, I thought it might be worth a re-ask!

A workaround is use seat memory setting 2 for getting in/out, and setting 1 for driving (or vice versa). Not automated, but serves a similar function.

Yeah I appreciate that, but it’s the remembering to hit it to move the seat back before getting out. And, I have ‘2’ set more forward and upright, for spirited driving!

If you did it the other way around it would at least move back when you opened the car.

It can be done with coding but i am not able to find out how yet.

It can’t be done with just coding. Seems that a “side affect” of the M dash mod is that easy entry is enabled.
