Comfort Entry / Reverse Mirror

Hey folks,

Wondering whether anyone else has had some similar issues. I have a 2011 Cayenne S, and I have two issues (both likely electrical in nature I believe):

Issue 1: With comfort entry turned on, and seat setting etc set properly, new battery in the key as well, when I put the key in the ignition and close the driver door, the seat should move the its set position (in my case slightly forward). About 50% of the time it fails to move forward at all, but if I press the memory button on the door, it moves to it's correct location. Regardless of whether the seat moved forward or not, once set, and I remove the key / open the door, the seat reverses as normal. I can't find any faults nor could my local dealer.

Issue 2: this started happening recently, and has to do with the passenger mirror when I set the reverse assist option for the mirror to drop when the vehicle is placed in reverse and then returns to normal position when driving forward again. Recently, it won't return from the down position, but I can use the mirror up button to "force it" back up. If I press the memory button, I can hear the mirror motor clicking. What I don't understand is why the motor works using the mirror button, but not with the memory button. I don't know if there is an electrical circuit variance between the two to isolate the problem, nor whether Issue 1 and 2 could somehow be related, being linked to "settings".

Any thoughts would be greatly aprpeciated.

Cheers.
