Easy entry function - seats
 

Can someone who has taken recent delivery of their S4 check for me if the easy entry function for the seats exist from the factory? Its under Vehicle Settings...Seats...Drivers seat - if it is.

When I first started playing with OBDEleven on my car - which was right after I had picked it up, I had run that app to enable it prior to making backups of all the modules -- and I never even checked to see if it was already available from the factory. Fortunately, it was the only thing I had done before the backups, so I know the status of the other things I played with.

Thanks,
Rick

Mine has it. I took delivery on March 17.

What does it do anyway? I can't find it in the manual.

I have mine enabled in setting, but it does not move the seat back and forth. Hmm...maybe a trip to the dealer?

I have it in my S4 and it's enabled - as far as I can tell it just deflates the side bolsters when the door is opened. Don't notice anything else...

I done feel the bolsters deflating either. Just some mechanical whirring when i open doors.

I'll feel the bolsters deflating if I sit in the car for a few minutes after I turn it off.. But the easy entry/exit thing can also be a little sporadic.. Sometimes it doesnt move the seat back.. Sometimes it doesnt move it forward.. Seems to be a common complaint when I searched around.

As a new owner, I was curious about this function as well. Nothing in the book. I was at the dealer this week and asked how it is supposed to work. The explanation I got was that, if enabled, the "easy entry" function will simply deflate the side bolsters. It does NOT move the seat back or forward.
A work-around, if you're really interested in having this function, would be to program the number 2 position on the seat memory for the full back position. Of course you'd have to push a button every time you get in/out but the seat would be moved for you. (And explain to your spouse why s/he doesn't get a memory button.) Are there some female S4 owners? Must be somewhere....

After actually paying attention to mine -- the feature does work as intended in my car, consistently.. When I turn the car off, ONCE I OPEN THE DOOR, the seat moves back - I would say around 4". When returning to the car, the seat moves forward to the memory position stored in the keyfob, but only ONCE I START THE CAR. I will note that I have the setting for "Store settings in key" enabled -- and whenever I change any of my settings, I do two things: 1) I save the settings to memory set 1 on the door buttons and 2) in order to save the changed settings to the key, it is necessary to use the actual lock button on the fob to save those settings.

Rick, that's really interesting.... I will try this again! Thanks for the info.
