Making Mercedes Wheelchair Friendly
My wife is in a wheelchair and can't maneuver her seat while she's taking it apart because the seat controls are on the door. Is anyone familiar with workarounds to this? We were thinking it would be great if seat memory positions could be programmed into a FOB. I'm sure other independent people in wheelchairs have used Mercedes cars before. If there's any custom work or type of shop we should take the car to after purchase, we would be interested to know.

If the vehicle has memory buttons on the respective front doors, it means memory functionality is there.
On some MB models, an easy entry feature (not sure of the exact term) exists where either the steering wheel, seat, or both move out of the way. The function seems to be different on different models and years. The owner's manual is your best source for this information.
There is no driver "remembering" feature using the fob, similar to BMW. I am speaking about COMAND-based vehicles which is generally 2019 and older.
Which vehicle do you have?
