2023 Yukon Denali - Questions setting up profiles

[dtxmm]

We're settling into our new 2023 Yukon Denali and enjoying it very much so far, but I've run into two things I can't seem to figure out when it comes to setting up infotainment profiles and linking seat settings to a key.

1) Memory Seat settings - I've set up our respective fobs with the seat / mirror / wheel positions we like and saved them to the 1 and 2 buttons respectively. I've set entry/exit memory to on for both profiles. Is there a way to get the seat to adjust when the door is unlocked vs. having it wait until the vehicle is started? I'm much taller than my wife so if she was the last one driving it's a squeeze for me to get into the drivers seat to turn it on.

2) Infortainment profiles are setup, but it doesn't seem that either has been linked to a key. Both were setup with only the key we want them paired with in the vehicle. Is there a way to "force" this or manually link a fob to an infotainment profile? I saw some posts in 2022 saying this was a known issue but nothing since then so hoping that there's a way to fix this.

The exit position is not driver specific. Move the seat to where you want it positioned at exit and then set it, when the door is opened the seat will move to the exit position regardless of who the last driver was.

1). Ht the Unlock Button on the FOB vs the door and the seat will begin to move before you start. Or, hold down on the appropriate button on the door armrest until all the adjustments finish. Agree, seems like this is an oversight and should be triggered by any door unlock...but it is what it is.

2) No, infotainment profile switch is a manual thing, annoying, agree. On my 2013, the infotainment system switched profiles w/ the key fob...seems like another oversight...but you are stuck switching this w/ the infotainment screen at startup.

thanks! Will give that a try.

Annoying on the infotainment, but overall I like the google setup so far.

Longshot here... Did you ever get the seat to move by using unlock from the fob? I'm on the hunt for the same problem

I set the exit position to be all the way down and all the way back, that way no matter who gets in the vehicle there's the maximum amount of room available. Yes, a shorter person has to stretch a bit to press the brake to start the car, but in my opinion that's still better than trying to wedge myself between the seat and the steering wheel when entering or exiting the vehicle.
