I didn't even realize this until the co-worker who had interested me in the tC mentioned it the other day, but on wanttc.com "Driver's Seat One-Touch walk-in Track and Seat Angle Memory" is listed as a STANDARD Feature. My tC sure doesn't have it? Did I get taken or is this gross false advertising?

 

I have read about it a number of times. If it exists, can't figure out how it works.

 

its only for the drivers seat when you use the lever on the back so peaple can get it then push the seat back with the headrest it goes back to the origanl positian

 

I think its a fancy way of saying your seat will stay were it as after you get out of it...hehe...cuz it says it right on my window sticker (saved it)...hehe

 

basicly it is but the passanger seat doest have it

you got to use the lever on the side of the seat by the headrest. If you don't, then your settings are gone. *poof* like magic.........Only works on driver's side to.

 

Yeah when I first heard about this feature I was expecting the seat memory that my friend's 2004 Maxima has. You walk in, put the key in the ignition and the seat position changes to your settings, even the steering wheel tilts automatically!

Then again, his car was $30,000.

 

Listen to all you lazy people, what is wrong with just doing it yourself?

 

Cause it's never exactly right whenever you do it yourself, and why do it yourself when Scion put it in for us.

If you're so against lazy people, why don't you just ditch the car and walk, or take up cycling.

 

haha, im not against lazy people, im against hypocrites... (haha I hope you guys get that one)

 

Oh, and I dont know if you've ever been to california, but the only way to get anywhere in So Cal is by freeway... and no walking or biking on the freeway.

 

Heres how it works:

Driver Side Full Memory:

Release seat forward by using the lever on the top of the seat. It will slide forward. It will only return back to the original position if you push the bottom part of the seat back first, then lift the seat back forward.

Passenger Side Half Memory works the same way. Push the bottom part of the seat back first but the seat back will stop at a straight up position. Unfortunately, you have to adjust the seat back before you get back in the front seat.

I do not know why Scion/Toyota didn't just do both seats this way. I don't forsee it costing that much more.

 

Thanks for the info jeffrgunn. This actually is going to be useful.

 

What no button.......it's handy to have ,hate when someone else drives my car....

 

It has nothing to do with someone driving your car and going back to your settings. This feature only works when someone gets into the backseat so that you don't have to do alot to get your comfort back.

 

It would have to been nice to see all power seats in the tC as an option or maybe even leather, bet hey, it wouldnt be a $16,500 car then, would it? After owning one for a while, there are a lot of things I cant think that I would like to change or make different. You know that they say this car was built for sound because of the stock Pioneer system. The factory door speakers can barely handle bass, and im sure that most of us here at least I, like to crank up the tunes, and in the tC I cant because the speakers sound like there gonna blow. But they will be getting replaced soon anyway. I know that many would call it complaining, but there are many other cars in the same price range that have better stock systems, but they dont claim thier cars are built for sound.

 

I really miss the power leather seats in my acura with two different memory settings.

 

to the original poster.. it's not really a one-touch.. more like a one handed pull.. for that memory seat.. and it's just so that if someone gets out of the backseat, the driver wouldn't have to re-do the whole seat..

and yeah i agree about the radio.. i've had to turn the bass down to prevent the speakers from being overloaded.. well when i can i'll replace the speakers with some aftermarkets.. but i will say that their system is much better than some stock civic radio setups..

 

Personally, I much rather have all manual seats. Power seats add a ton of weight, and the tC is already a hefty little car. Hell I say ditch the one touch slider too, save another 2 lbs.
