Driver 1 and 2 Settings
I still have 2 more weeks until I get my RDX, so this may be obvious but. . .
Are driver 1 and 2 settings set to the key or to the car? I ask because I'm wondering if going on a trip if it is possible to switch back and forth. I've experienced based on a key and it really isn't.
Also, can the passenger seat settings be saved? If so, how does that work?

Passenger seat settings are not saved for different passengers. Since I tend to drive when my wife and I are both in the car, the passenger seat is set for her, and I try not to adjust anything if she drives, other than moving the seat back. She was still tweaking the passenger seat last night, and we've had the car for 6 weeks, so I'm not about to mess with it.

Driver 1 activates memory setting 1 and driver 2 activates memory setting 2.
While in the car, you could simply press 1 or 2 if you switch drivers. Other brands may work differently.
Does this answer your question?

Also waiting on our Advance to arrive, and curious. What all gets saved to memory with driver 1 and 2 besides the 16 adjustments on the seats? Side view mirror positions? HUD settings? i.e.- my wife didn’t like the HUD during the test drive, so she may want it off, while I want it on with my preferred settings for what’s shown. Anything else tied to driver 1 and driver 2?

Per the owner's manual only the seat position settings and outside mirrors. Some of the 16 seat adjustments have to do with the head restraints and those are mechanical adjustments so most likely not tied to memory settings as they cannot be adjusted electrically - same with the interior RVM and the steering wheel adjustments. No mention of HUD so probably not.
It would be nice if there were other items tied to some deeper menu settings (I.e.- the HUD) in addition to this one that involves the easiest knob in the car to adjust to the right “setting.”

Yeah. There is a lot that is not explained. I would have liked it if every electronic setting, preference, and electronically operated positioning were saved with the remote and assigned to remote 1 or 2. But, no.

Oops, I knew but forgot about that one. As for what else, it may be that anything controllable electronically could be remembered - although it's been demonstrated that the MID setting is not one of them. The OM is vague (or silent) about a number of things so a lot is being learned through trial-and-error and experimentation. It's all part of the 'fun' of a new, first year, clean sheet design vehicle.

I think the mid is remembered - I put mine on tire pressure one day and stopped for gas and to put air on, I turned the car off completely and when I got back in, the tire pressure was displaying still. I don’t think k it’s tied to the driver or fob, just whatever the car was last displaying.

Just ran across this in the owners manual. Was not aware of it because so far I'm the only driver and use only 1 fob.
When the power mode is turned off, the drive mode that the vehicle was in is registered with the vehicle. When the vehicle is driven the
next time, it detects which remote transmitter is being used and then reactivates or changes the drive mode that the vehicle was in the last time the same transmitter was used.

I'm having trouble when I get into my car in the morning (key fob 1) the seats are not setting to setting 1 they go to setting 2, even though key fob 2 is in the house. I do use fob 2 to start the car from my upstairs bathroom some days. But don't carry fob 2. I haven't used the remote start for a few days and it still sets my seat to #2 and I have to switch it before I take off. Any thoughts on what I can do to get the fobs linked back appropriately? Never had this issue before. My TLX had 2 fobs and it was very obvious which was which (radio background colors were different). I also miss the short cut buttons from my TLX.
If anyone can think of something that might remedy this, let me know please.

The second step is to determine if the proper positions are stored in the memory. If you press the #1 button will it cause the seats/mirrors to move to the correct locations?
The third step is to determine if the problem only occurs for the #1 FOB. Do the seats move properly when you use FOB #2 or do you have to use the door button to get the correct position.
The next step is to determine if the seats are moving exactly into the #2 settings or are they actually moving into a random setting. If you were to move the seat all the way back before locking the door, will it move exactly to the #2 memory position when you unlock it with FOB #1? A good indicator of this is to press the #2 button and see if the seats move further,
There is a setting in the menu to turn "Driver Position Link" on or off. However I think that would also cause the seats to ignore the #2 FOB as well.
Just in case something got corrupted, I suggest opening the door with FOB #1, re-setting the seat positions manually, and then re-save the new positions into memory location #1

This is somewhat of a mystery to me also. With our 2014 RDX, I had #1 and my wife was #2 (the ales guy set it up, not me). She carries her fob in her purse, I carry it in my pocket. Often when we would get in the car together it would set the seats to #2 even tho I opened the driver's door. Kinda weird but I figured it had something to do with timing or position of the fob relative to the sensor. A few times I had both fobs in my pocket and it consistently set to hers...#2. I figured it might be battery strength so I put a new battery in mine but it still did the same thing...it would take hers, not mine, even tho they were in the same pocket. OK, no biggie, we thought it was funny. She figured the car liked her more.
So, we bought the 2021 but this time she has #1 and I have #2. Funny thing is, the new car also takes hers over mine. WTF? Maybe RDX's just prefer women? Maybe I have some strange RF blocking aura or something? Who knows? Very weird.
Again, not a big deal for us, more something to laugh about. But still...
