Well, today after gym I decided to play with the SW and seat. Here is what I did to solve all my problems and maybe all of yours out there that want to disable that feature.
First, I removed the seat side cover where the memory buttons are and from there you can see one black plug which controls the memory buttons and one small white plug which controls the steering wheel memory. From Rocky1536 recommendation I removed the small white plug and see what will happen. It disables the actual SW adjuster on the SW itself, so if you unplug it, it will still move to the pre memorized position when you lock/unlock car and turn ignition on/off. Well, I wanted to avoid this all together, so I decided to disconnect the bigger black plug for the memory buttons and YES - exactly what I wanted to accomplish. I set the SW the way I wanted before I unplug the black and white cable, so after all is unplugged the SW does not move anymore and stays the way I always want it. The good news is that the seat still moves with the adjusting knobs, which is great for when my wife sits, she can manually adjust instead of hitting the memory button now, which is fine. The steering wheel adjuster does not work either, so if this needs to be readjusted I just need to plug the cable again and readjust. I wish there is a button to disable this black cable and everything will be soo cool.
Anyway that is my post and I'm happy now.
Let me know what you guys think.
