Number on the back of Keyless entry fob.

05_GMC_SLT · July 28, 2005

I was under the impression that when I used the #1 key fob to unlock my doors, it would move the seat to #1 memory seat location and the same for #2. But mine doesn't do that. Does the 05 Sierra SLT not come with that option, if so why have the number on the back? My parents 04 Envoy has the same numbers on their key fobs and their seats move when unlocked with them. Just wondering if I should take it to the dealer.

Thanks.

I have the same issue with my 05 Tahoe. My guess is that GM decontented the feature and still had a surplus of key fobs or the change was not communicated to the supplier. . Only a guess.

I believe it was something that they deleted for 2005 because I noticed the same thing with the 2005 crew that I just bought, so I looked in the owners manual for memory recall by keyfob and it is no longer in the literature. My 2003 did have information in the owners manual about this feature that is apparently no longer there with the 2005. I'm a little disappointed, but sometimes my seat did not recall to the programmed position in my 2003. Maybe that is why they discontinued it.

From a TSB..

"Starting in 2005, all full size trucks and utilities have had a change to the way driver personalization operates. Vehicles equipped with memory seats RPO AN3 will now only recall seat, mirror (DL3), and pedal (JF4) settings for driver 1 and 2 from the buttons located on the driver's door panel. The key fobs will no longer recall memory positions. The DIC will no longer display Driver 1 or Driver 2 like in previous years.

Radio presets, HVAC (CJ2) and DIC (UK3) setting are now set to the vehicle, meaning there is only one setting for both drivers.

As to why they still have key fobs labeled #1 & #2... I dunno. Maybe they had a big stock of them and didn't want to just throw a million dollars worth of key fobs in the dumpster because they have a number printed on the back.
