Retrofit memory to electric seats?
Discussion
Hi all
My daily driver 2008 plated Honda Accord has a nice pair of lovely electric heated leather seats up front. Just the job in the mornings as the weather turns colder.
The problem is, on days where I work from home, I can see what's going to happen: Mrs Eltax takes a look at the keys to her qashqai, remembers how much she regrets not listening to me about getting a car with heated leather and will lift the keys to my accord.
This, in itself is no biggie. Except she is a short arse and as such she adjusts EVERYTHING in the seats! Base, back, lumbar, tilt the lot.
This pisses me off royally as it takes me an age to get it just right again.
As far as I can see, memory seats weren't an option when the car was built, so that leaves me with aftermarket solutions.
Anyone ever done it, or had it done and can comment on relative difficulty? Any decent aftermarket kits out there? Drivers seat would be plenty enough.
Cheers

Thanks for the replies all. You can always rely on PH's to not answer the question and make 5 completely alternative points! 
I actually don't want to stop her using the car, there are plenty of 'pub times' when I would regret playing games with the seat or stopping her using the car.
Looks like retrofit is not the answer though. Guess I will just have to put up with it.
