Coding Passenger Side Multi Contour Seat

This may be a shot in the dark, does anyone know if it's possible to code the front passenger side seat(multi contour) so it moves completely forward with the key fob making it easier to put your child in their car seat? I have the passenger seat set to move as far up as possible by pushing #2 setting...being 6'2 it's a real pia to put my daughter in her car seat with the passenger side seat moved back and constantly opening the front door to push the #2 setting each time. I tried searching for an answer but came up empty...those of you who are parents know what i'm talking about

Never heard of that? It's not on Okee's list of coding options for the E70, but maybe somebody else here knows.

This would be nice to have as I often have the same issue when trying to put my son in his carseat.

My solution... Car seat is in the middle, where it's inherently safer, though harder to put kid in.

Old story... Back in highschool I was in the left rear seat of a civic, the car spun out, hit a rock wall at my door, and the door folded, pinning my feet under the front seat, while my body was pushed towards the middle of the car.

Not only did I break the pelvis of the girl sitting next to me, where I had an 8" dia bruise on my hip. I also couldn't walk for 6 weeks, peeing in a bowl, having someone bath me, etc; I actually don't remember how I shat. ;-) . Then 4 weeks after that in crutches. Tore everything more or less important attached in my hip area.

So yeah, car seat in middle right now is where the kid sits today. We'll re-evaluate that later down the road when baby #2 comes around in Dec.

I've never heard of it either, holding a 30lb kid in 1 hand and trying to move the passenger seat up with the other at the same time gets annoying. I figured a car with so many features maybe i missed something in the i-drive menu
