Question Smart key memory seat position and personalization setting (E300 2019)

My sales told me that after getting in the car, put the smart key in the “hole” below the center console where design for place the key ,it will be some data written to the key wirelessly. if I use my key the seat will move it to my seating position, if my wife use her key than the seat will move to her position , Also would remembe central control settings and personal interface and other details based on the key. So far I was not able to achieve. Any one know how to do it correct? Or there is no such feature at all? Can't find it in Instruction manual。

That's because the salesman gave you a nice story, which isn't based on fact at all. The keys are not programmable to each driver. Sorry.

But that's not the current W213, right?

To the best of my knowledge W213 does not have SmartKey dependent memory.

That's why I was asking for clarification. The OP wasn't asking about a 211.
