06 TSX Memory Seats not working
I hav started noticing that my new 06 TSX Memory seats are not working. The seats adjustments are fine and all those buttons work but when I open the car I never see the "welcome Driver 1" any more untill I put the Key in the iginition. I did see it before since I had owned the car. Also there are no lights at either of the memory locations. I went through the manual and went to defautl all for the settings and that did nothing.
The only think I can think of is when I had new speakers installed they must have messed with it. Is there a certain plug or something on the driver side that could cause this? I was going to have best buy check it out before I went to the dealer (the car is still under warrenty)
I would appreciate any advice or additional info

This space taken.
I've never gone through the trouble of programming the driver settings (I'm the only one who drives it), but I did think that my memory seats weren't working for a few days. Come to find out, I just wasn't holding the seat button down long enough when I was trying to go back to a saved position.
Unfortunately that doesn't sound like your problem, but didn't want you to feel as stupid as I did.
Let us know how it turns out.

If you're in an MT you can change the seat location by holding down the memory seat button. The only other way to change it is to come to a stop and then press it. I noticed that if the position you want to change to is close to where you are it barely moves.

Does your car seat adjust when you open it?
Actually I think something is wrong. If you look on page 69 (for '06 AT) for "normal display Message" it says that when you open the door with the transmitter you are supposed to see "Welcome Driver X"
If you look on page 132 it says first thing that when you unlock the door the seat is supposed to set itself and then beep twice.
has anyone else see this issue?
Can anyone tell me if there is a connection to the memory buttons to the door?

Ok So I do think I am going to have to take it to the deal cause mine is not moving and beeping when I unlock and open the door. I know I had linked the keys before. I am the only driver of the car usually. So Its not a terrible big deal. I may wait until another warrenty issue comes up and take care of them both then

I didn't see you make the statement that you linked the keyfob or not. So did you press

Not sure if anyone is still having this problem, but i had it also. took it to the dealer and they said they might have to replace the relay. i was thinking about it at home that night, then got a wild idea and decided to try it out. Turns out this problem is due to disconnecting the battery. but you can't just link the driver remote. you have to link all the remotes 1 after another. that is the only way to make the memory seats working again. If you also unlink the passenger remote this feature will stop working also. Hope this helps.

I just got my 2006 TSX a few days ago and I have a question about the memory seats. They gave us two remotes with the keys and both of them have a number 2 on the back. The one has always said "Welcome Driver 2" when you use it and I tried linking the other (by holding the lock and unlock button) and it also says "Welcome Driver 2". In order to use the other memory position, would I have to get a number 1 remote? I tried talking to the service department at the dealer and they said I have to come in and they will reprogram something. I'm not sure the guy understood what I was talking about because could they ever reprogram a number 2 remote to take the driver 1 memory position?

Make a hole, coming thru!
Is it hard-coded, or can it be reprorammed? When you buy a replacement remote, I don't think you have to order a "#1" or a "#2," the sticker stimply identifies which "driver" it's programmed as. Someone correct me if I'm wrong....

Actually, it is, and you do.
I did the TL switchblade mod, and the new fob has the number (as well as other graphics) laser etched onto the back cover. The Driver 2 fob also costs a ton more to purchase (likely due to lower demand, therefore smaller quantities). I doubt either of those would be true if it was just a matter of moving a few dip switches, or pressing a few button combinations to change the setting.

I'm guessing instead of something switchable (which would cost a wee bit more in parts), it's hard coded with a specific chip. Ironic then, that to save money they make a fob which costs more than the other.

I didn't even know about this. Mine always says "welcome" and that's it.
Now when the girlfriend drives my car I won't have to worry about smashing my head on the way in (5'3" vs 6'1").
Thanks!

i think ur problem is that maybe the dealer or someone disconnected ur battery and reset the memory on the computer. check the computer in ur dash between ur gauges buy holding down the info or select button on ur stearing wheel.(the lower right buttons) and then just play with the settings. you should be able to find it.

There is a selection in the menu called 'driver position link' or something like that. This needs to be 'On"

I'm not too sure on it being caused by speaker install. I have not changed my speakers and my light on the memory seat panel do not come on. I think it has to do with a relay under the dash. When I put my key in, the car just says welcome. And when I try to go into menu mode I get a error saying cannot setup, driver unknown.

BTW, rmjames007, you won't have either memory 1 or memory 2 button indicator lights lit if you change the settings from the saved settings. The test would be to press either and let the chair restore that position. On my '07, the green button indicator lights only when left in the saved position. (Apologies if this was covered previously and I've forgotten.) Another test ... at night, with parking lights on, do any of the memory seat buttons light up (backlighting)?
Wickedfx ... are you confusing Simba's reply to RMjames007 as a reply to you? Your indications sound like your key fob is not linked, you're describing the normal indication I get when the fob is unlinked and I try to set driver settings.
#32
I was under the belief that the "Welcome Driver 1"wasn't showing either. I can't imagine that this would be affected by the plug in the door being undone after a speaker install.
