A small update from yesterday as I was mainly working on other mini projects on the car that I've yet to document....
Passenger seat memory is something I confess I wasn't massively familiar with as its a pretty rare option, only available in the last 2 years of D2 production. We only ever saw one car in the flesh with this option and it wasnt drivable so didnt spend much time getting familiar.....
We just assumed that it would move the passenger seat when you pushed the memory buttons in the door, fair enough. I was a bit dissapointed when it became clear that it wouldnt adjust the passenger seatbelt height, but I'm getting over that....
Now, what I didnt realise was that it comes with a different memory button :
Somehow, we removed this part from the donor car, completely overlooked it and put it in a box several months ago.
Last week, David found it and excitedly told me he'd found the missing passenger side memory buttons i'd been looking for, and it has a * button on it... how cool....
But when i got it, it isnt a passenger side trim.... Its a drivers side trim...
So, a quick double check with a 2002 owners manual and a lot of pieces fall into place.
The passenger side memory buttons are normal, 1,2,3,4 buttons just like you normally get on the drivers side. The drivers side however has 3 positions, 1,2,3 and * - The * on the drivers side module (wait for it) moves the
passenger seat into its position 4, so if you've had someone lounging in the back who has pushed the front seat all the way forward, the driver can simply press a button in his door to move the seat back to a sensible position.
How utterly fab is that.....
This also explains why I ran that white/green wire all the way from the passenger side memory buttons all over to the drivers side memory buttons.... I thought it was odd, but did it anyway because i couldnt explain what it did and Im so glad as I will now have this feature when I refit the seats.....
