BOSE radio settings & unrelated PCM question (?)
#16
"There has been a lot of confusion about how to save comfort settings. Just pressing Set and then #1 or #2 DOES NOT SAVE these comfort settings. #1 or #2 only save your seat, mirrors and steering wheel settings for the key currently in use. All comfort settings (such PCM mode, radio stations, AC or Auto/Start) are only saved by hitting Set and the #3 button (the one with a little picture of a key, as TrySixty stated).
These settings and the current driver's preferred seat settings are then saved ONLY FOR THAT KEY. It does not override the comfort settings of the OTHER key. The second key has to be done independently, the same way or differently if there is a second driver that occasionally drives the car.
Also, the settings switch over to the other key ONLY if the second key is used to unlock the car. For example, if I go out to the garage and as I'm about to get in the unlocked car I notice the seat position is up (meaning the last person to drive it was my wife) I need to lock the car, then immediately unlock it and the car recognizes that it's my key and changes everything back to my settings."
Hope this helps.

Why do you have fader +1 to front? I experimented and actually like fader on -1 towards back. I sometimes like it on zero too. Since I am sitting so close to the front speakers as it is, I feel I get more of a spatial quality at -1 so I can hear the rear speakers more.

Sounds like you may not be saving the PCM settings correctly. Here's an explanation from a while back on this forum:

Oh! so #3 isnt really a third seat setting rather a "Key" memory? which saves not only the seats but many other settings?

It's interesting to note that ONLY the Surround Sound option will revert to the default, "off" position. Everything else in the audio settings is saved.
Yes, it's checked. It's driving me nuts!

Not a bad idea; I'll probably drive down to the dealership during the holidays and mention it to my rep.
