I love my keyless start/unlock feature of my Lexus ES350. That and the rear ack up camera are two features I have come to love. I just ordered a S4 today with the P+ including rear back up camera but w/o the keyless start (advanced key/whatever it is called). I am sure I will miss it but it is so not worth the cost of the Prestige Package.

I'm buying the car for the drive, the feel, and the fact that it fits my kids in the back. But yeah, I will miss keyless

I'm guessing they mean you could buy up to two more keys, and it would keep track of the settings for all four.

How does the Mercedes system work? In the Audi S4, the memory seat position is not exactly tied to the key. The memory settings on the door are actually independent of the keys, though the key will store whatever position the seat is in when the door is locked. So when my girlfriend drives and uses my key, she simply hits the seat memory button #2 when she gets in the car (hit it before the door closes and it's a touch and release; after closing the door, you have to hold it down until the seat has moved all the way). Then when she gets out, she hits memory button #1 to set it back to my position before locking the car. Works fine for us.

Default Memory seat is the thing I will miss on the S4

But the prestige package seems a little pricey to just get a memory seat and rear sun shade. On the Mercedes, there are three settings on the door, just push button, with the position in the correct setting, it adjust the seat correctly.

The memory seat is also useful, when going to the car wash to return the seat to correct setting, after it is washed by the handlers.
