Memory mirror setting?

[SupaStealth]

ok, whenever i hit the lock button and unlock button on my remote,my driver's side mirror changes, i'm assuming it goes to a set location everytime, and its kind of annoying that everytime i get in my car that i have to adjust the mirror. Has anyone else had this problem, also how i could solve this?, i tried using the memory locations for the seats hoping it would be tied in with the mirrors, but no such luck.

It should be, check the Personalization features in your owners manual.

Maybe your remote is tied in with the second memory position.

Thats exactly the case right there reset the customization features.

Sorry, I am a cretin!

From google web definitions: fob - A short chain with a decorative seal or other device attached to the end.

Hehe, yeah "fob" is one of those mystery words that everyone uses in place of "remote", but nobody really knows what it means. Here is the answer to the question "What is a key fob?" from SearchSecurity.com's Definitions page. The actual term describes an aspect of network security, but this page makes reference to similar technology in home/car remote locks.

Finally a definition for the term that makes sense!..nice link Scotty

A key fob is a type of security token: a small hardware device with built-in authentication mechanisms. Just as the keys held on an ordinary real-world key chain or fob control access to the owner's home or car, the mechanisms in the key fob control access to network services and information.

Back before I were a lad in England, before wrist watches were invented pocket watches (also called fob watches) were used. They are about two inches in diameter.

Waistcoats were popular ( a garment with no sleeves worn under a suit jacket ). A long chain would hang from one of the button holes with a pocket or fob watch on the other end. The watch would be kept in one of the waistcoat pockets.

Hence 'fob' a device that hangs from a chain.

Hate to admit this - but when I were a lad in England I used to have a fob watch hanging off my waistcoat pocket.
It was all very, er, Edwardian.
