Selecting Main Key Fob
I use key fob #1 as my main fob. When I have both fobs in the car, #2 is set instead of #1. How can I make sure fob #1 is selected when I start the car?
Also, I want the same settings on both fobs. Is there a way to copy all my settings from #1 to key fob #2, or do I have to set them manually?
Thanks!

The key fob settings used is supposed to be the fob that unlocks the car initially. So if you have to carry both, make sure you unlock it using the #1 fob unlock button and it should use the #1 settings. If you're just unlocking using the door handle with the fob in your pocket I'm not sure which one takes precedence. If you want to have both fobs have the same settings just set the settings you want for Memory button 1 on the door panel and immediately save the same settings for Memory button 2. You can't copy settings from fob to fob.

I don't lock my door when it's in the garage. Next time I have both fobs, I'll try locking the door and then opening it with fob #1.
I did try to copy the #1 settings by saving to Memory button #2, but that doesn't copy the radio stations, saved addresses, etc. But I do think the procedure above will work, and then I won't need to replicate the settings. Thanks!

Unfortunately I don't think radio stations and saved addresses are saved to a specific driver profile. I could be wrong, but I think it's only the seat and mirror settings and a few driver settings in the MID menu.
On the 2018, radio presets are saved to a specific driver profile, but are not copied when trying to manually copy the settings from driver 1 to driver 2. I did not yet find a way to unlink a remote from a driver profile (like it was possible to do in older generation cars).
