2002 V70 remote control

[Njord]

My wife and I recently purchased the subject vehicle and it is our first
experience with using remote control door locks. My question has to do with
the seat and mirror adjustments when you use the remotes. We understand how
to set them and to basically use them, but wonder if there is a better way
to get the seat/mirror reset when one of us wants to drive the car after the
other has and the doors have not been locked in the interim. Here is the
scenario. I drive the car into the garage and leave the doors unlocked. My
wife now wants to drive the car and obviously wants the seat and mirror
adjusted to her setting.The only way we have found to do this is for the
subsequent driver to use the remote to first lock the car and then unlock it
before opening the door. Is there a better way?

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I have 3 sets of keys/remotes for my 2003 XC70. Each key set has different
settings for seat and mirror settings. Use the right key set and you get
what you want. Too Simple.

I don't want to, nor do I think it is necessary since the garage is locked.

Thanks for trying, but this is not the issue. We use our own remotes and
each has its own setting. The issue is how best to get the adjustment made
when the doors are not locked in the interim. Suggest you read my posting
again.

What way could you even suggest that would be quicker than pressing
Lock-Unlock on the keyfob? It's not as though there's a waiting period
between locking the car and unlocking it again.

Beats me. If I knew that, I wouldn't be asking. Just wondering if anyone
else has come up with a way to do it that might be better.

I actually meant hypothetically, if you had to design the car, but
anyway...

Wrong newsgroup, and somewhat off-topic, but anyone know how Mercedes
handles such a situation with Keyless Go?

Keyless Go is a system that allows you to keep an access card in your
wallet, and (I believe using some sort of RFID-related technology) when
you come within proximity of the car it automatically unlocks and
adjusts to your settings, and to start the car you just press a "start"
button (and except for the start button, I believe that this system is
very little different from the system that GM has employed on Corvettes
since about 1990).

But if two people each with Keyless Go cards with different settings are
in proximity of the car...
