Automatic Seat Adjustment
Hello all,
My wife and I both drive the EQS and each have our own profiles that can be activated through fingerprint to passcode. I seem to be having an issue with the automatic seat adjustment for reach of us. My wife has a seating position that is much closer to the steering wheel than me. When she parks the car at home and get out, the seat automatically moves back. The issue is, when I want to drive the car and I then get in, the car start moving the seat forward to her set profile position before I can sign in with mine. Any suggestions here?
Thanks!

If there are more drivers than keys, the tallest person might use the key dependent profile feature.
This is explained in the manual but I missed it even if I have read the manual pretty much throughout.

You have to use the seat memory buttons. One for you and one for her. AND watch the profile since each profile will have its own seat memories. Quite frankly I find that MB failing to codify each key to a profile is the most inept technology failure ever. Acura had fugured hiw to do that almost 2 decades ago. Mercedes still doesnt, quite frankly that is utter stupity.
Mercedes too had key dependent settings a long time ago but abandoned it. Someone here claimed it was after a study by MBUSA where they concluded that too many options confuse drivers.
I asked my sales man if the three seat memories are an independent thing from the profiles or would each profile carry 3 seat memory settings, he did not know. The manual isn't clear on this either. I'll take your statement as a fact and will try this some time. Makes me wonder if seat settings should revert to those used last time the selected profile was active or do I have to use one of the seat memory settings and that memory selection would be activated next time with my profile. Meaning if I adjust my seats but do not save the settings, no action occurs at next profile activation? See how confused I am with this issue.

Do US cars have more that two keys? I know one can order additional keys, might make sense for some.

2022 MB EQS 580
I wanted to try this Smartkey to profile binding and I DO see this in the manual as posted above. BUT that option is not available in my software (E316) on my EQS 580 in USA. Does anyone else have this option in your software? This is just another example of how the software is way behind the originally intended design. Getting 1 software update every 6 to 9 months is pretty slow in a new product with this level of complexity and dependencies on the software.

.
Is this your interpretation of the user manual or do you know it otherwise? My interpretation is that one smart key (the key) can only be linked to one profile, which is obvious but the second key can be linked to some other profile.
