what is the question? the seat memory works the same as it always has across the gm platform, adjust everything where you like it seat, mirrors, steering wheel, pedals. then press and hold the desired memory button 1 or 2 (whichever you are setting it for) until you hear a beep. the settings will work in conjunction with the keyfob (1 or 2) used to unlock the vehicle. you will also have a easy-out function. if you have a "set" button then you press that button first until you hear the beep them immediately press and hold the desired 1 or 2 memory button until you hear 2 beeps.
you may or may not have a setting in your headunit/dic to enable automatic easyout, mirror tilt in reverse, automatic mirror fold etc
your owners manual will also show how the memory functions operate, if you do not have the owners manual it is free online on the gm website.

I have a 17
Ok, so I set everything and it works great BUT here is my question. If I have it set and say I am went to the car wash or the valet moves moves my seat why doesn't it go back to my preset settings when I hit memory 1? The dealer states it's not meant to work that way and that I need to shut the vehicle off, lock the doors and re-enter which imo is total BS!
The seat and other things should move to there set position anytime you hit the desired preset button, key in, key out, running, not running, etc
even if you started it with keyfob 2 and then pressed preset 1 it should go to those settings.
the only time it would not do it is if you had it in drive already, has to be in park.
unless something has changed that is how it works.
That is how it worked in every car I owned since the 90's lol. The dealer and technician is telling me otherwise.
go out on there lot, tell the salesman you want to check out "this one" (set the presets) then see how it operates, when it works properly then go get the service manager and show them.
Good idea! The service director brought over the tech who allegedly also owned a 2017 and said "its normal". I think its total BS!

Mine is funny. I think I have to hold onto the number 1 for it to move back in place. If I let go, it stops moving
My wife’s Suburban is the same. Doesn’t make sense since it’s always been just press-the-button-and-forget. Also don’t think remote 1/2 are working properly, either. Weird...
Haven’t had any time to look into them yet. Will need to read the manual and do some experimenting with them to see if I’m missing something.

I have to hold my button down for the duration of reset as well.
Hmmm... Maybe that’s the way it’s supposed to work, then. Kind of stupid, IMO, but oh well...
I watched a video where a guy said you had to do that on the newer rigs, I was like wtf? that's retarded, may as well not even pay for the option. maybe somebody's kid got in and touched a button and got squeezed between the edge of the seat..... sounds like most things now only takes 1 to ruin the fun for everyone else.

Well I’m the only one that drives my car, so memory 1 and 2 and both Keys are set to my seating position lol.
but my wife’s Acura I have key 2 and when I unlock the car. It auto sets to my settings when I open the door

Just checked ours and found out that the the auto seat memory recall was disabled from the menu.
Turned it on and now my remote works on 2, but wife’s doesn’t work on either. Go figure. And it doesn’t start to move until you open the door. In GMT900 and earlier the seat moved right when you hit unlock on the remote.
Also checked the manual and it does indeed say you have to press and hold the button if the truck is not running or running and in Drive. If it’s running but in Park, just a press is enough. Stupid.
