Hardly a "trick" when it's in the owners manual.

So many pages here I didnt read them all and not sure if this one was mentioned but this one is about the memory feature. I thought it only worked by pressing the button on the side of the seat or inserting the key in the ignition but I just found out it adjusts everything to your settings by pressing the unlock button on the FOB. I press hers it adjusts seats, mirrors, etc to her settings. I press the unlock on my remote and it adjusts all to my settings. All done by the time I get in the car.
Thats AWSOME!

I read somewhere where you can program the keys to memorize your settings but I didn't know you could do that with the remote buttons.

The remote buttons and the key are the same thing, there isn't a separate remote fob.

Yes, I know that. What I'm saying is that the system or key/fob can be set up to memorize settings. Inserting the key in the ignition will set to the last settings while the key was in the ignition as well as the unlock button on that key.

I read the transmission relearn algorithm process - turn the key to on and press the gas pedal all the way to hold the kick down switch for 25 seconds. Does the car make any noise and something to register it has changed over?

Mine didn't.
