Default OBD11/Controlling Passenger Seat from Driver Seat

Looking for some OBD11 guidance, please and thank you.
Scenario:
In other models (other than B9), a setting can be enabled which enables the driver to move the passenger seat using the driver seat controls. The selection has to be made in MMI which, once completed, displays a message "Passenger seat can now be operated by Driver Seat Contrlols:

Steps in OBD11 (from a non-S4 thread):
06/Pax_seat_adj_from_driver seat (enable)
36/Seat_Seat_Adj_Pax side (enable)

Results:
After enabling in module 36, the MMI does now present the option to control the passenger seat. However, neither seat responds to control inputs. Once I turn that off in the MMI, the driver's seat responds normally.

My questions:
I did not find a module 06 - Passenger Seat Controls in OBD 11. Has anyone else found it?
If there is no module 06 in our cars, perhaps that same setting is another module?
More generally, has anyone worked on this feature with any success? My conclusion is that the MMI setting does not apply to the S4 - or perhaps some S4's but not the sport seats.

Any tips appreciated.

I have answered my own question. The passenger seat must have a memory function for the function to work. I have the Prestige model and it does NOT have memory on the passenger side. Hence I don't think the S4 has memory seats even as an option.

I have had many S4's since 2004 and none have had memory passenger seats. Furthermore, Audi used to have 4 positions for the driver's memory and now they only give us 2. As if that's not bad enough, starting with the B8, the buttons don't even light up anymore when you open the driver's door in the dark.
