Mine doesn't work, I was told by another person on another forum that it doesn't work on 6MT sedans. Does anyone here have one that works or should I just give up.

Autoslide isn't available on the 6MT, I read that somewhere but forget exactly. I was also confused after reading the manual. Not that I miss it, as I have no need for my seat to move everytime I get out of the car. Saves wear and tear on the seat mechanism.
There's a big button near the memory presets that cancels something, does that disable the autoslide feature on the ATs? The post-sales guy said it was only to be used by the dealers to clear something or other. I snided "that's a real useful button" and he just laughed but didn't explain further.

The button you speak of turns the autoslide feature on and off in my 5AT.

It pisses me off that they took off the memory feature on the coupes altogether. Most likely I'll be the only driver in my coupe, but c'mon... if the sedan can have it, why can't the coupe? There may be times when my wife drives or I let someone else (gasp!) drive, or when I take it in for service. Would be nice to be able to just hit that memory button and return everything to "where it should be."

I have also realized that the coupe driver position only has 3 primary seat controls, where as the sedan has 4. Instead of an electrical slide function, the coupe uses a conventional "lever-activated" mechanical slide, primarily because of all the passenger movement, and an electrical slide system would mean a slower mechanism. In the sedan this is not an issue since the slide time does not depend on the time the rear passenger has to wait on the seat to enter the rear of the cabin. My $0.2...

to clarify for those who don't have coupes, there is, in fact a mechanical lever used to "activate" the seat slide. However, only the seatback is mechanical (for quicker access). Once the seatback is tilted up, the seat itself slides forward electronically. The same thing happens for getting it back into position as well.
I too, found it odd that my 6mt sedan had a functionless auto-memory cancel button. I played with those switches for 3 days before I concluded that manual sedans did not have an auto-slide feature.
Additionally, I don't care for the way that the memory buttons function. In my car, the e-brake must be pulled, and the driver's door must be open for the seat to be adjusted. My wife also drives the car, and my toddler loves the easy-to-reach seat controls. All to often I find myself on my way before I realize that my seat is out of wack. I have to pull over, e-brake, and open my door to return my stored seating position! Boo!
