Got the ‘24 GLS450 a couple of months ago and the Easy Entry/exit feature keeps resetting and it’s driving me crazy!! Sometimes the seat and wheel adjust, sometimes not. Anyone else have same/similar issue?

Same issue on my 21' 450. The seat always works, but the dam steering wheel, does whatever it wants. I have a running list of things to bring up to the dealer, next time I go in.

Sometimes issues like this can be attributed to Profiles.

When you set your seat memories, are you using the same profile all the time?

As the GLS is mostly driven by my shorter wife, I find that I have to struggle to get into the seat just to be able to reach the screen to select my profile!
I think my only solution is to access my profile by opening the passenger door first, selecting the profile, and then resetting the seat/wheel!

I much prefer BMW's solution where the seating/wheel adjusts automatically to the keyfob on the driver's side.

Yes.

That's the VW Porsche Audi group's solution as well. I like it.

What I do with my wife's car, who is also short and I can't enter the car with her settings - is to have the #3 driver's seat memory set to my position. I open the door and hit #3 - then I can enter and select my profile.
A workaround, but it saves my neck.

Yeah, saving a setting under her profile should work!

This is what I do on most of our cars (8in height difference). However, on our 2024, the seat controls have a mind of their own. The buttons on the door don't always work. The different profiles do work fine, but it's a squeeze to reach them, as you say.

Then I had my A1 today and they did a software update. They didn't delete profiles, but something reset and it forced me through the seat configuration wizard again. After putting in my correct height, the seat promptly proceeded to move to its highest and most forward position. I got squeezed like a lemon. Not fun.

No idea what tomorrow will bring.

I got squashed with the auto seat setting by height, and I only used that one time. I was hoping to get an approximate starting point but but I thought I did better on my own.

That was on my official profile with the Mercedes me symbol superimposed on the profile.

I think I made too many assumptions and wrong settings when I was learning the car (incl RTFM), so I just made another profile with another photo, with no Mercedes me icon, that I use now.

I disabled the height setting this time, because I think It kind of pays attention to where you're sitting and sometimes wants to intervene.
(I doubt that that's really the case, because that would sound like a conspiracy, and I hope cars aren't at the level of sophistication to conspire....)

I bought the 2024 Mercedes gls450. My Mercedes dealer can't figure out why, after I activate the Easy entry/Easy exit feature and drive the car, the next day, I find that the car has turned it off. It's super aggravating!! How do you fix this?
