Default Is it possible to add memory seats?

This is the only option I REALLY wish I had - mainly b/c my wife is 5'4" and I'm 6'2", so EVERYTHING gets adjusted when she drives the car (which i'm trying to put a stop too ). Anyway, since my seats are electric, is the wirring / harness already in the door? I found a matching door panel, but don't want to spend the $100+ if there is no way it's gonna work. I'm assuming there is some sort of control box? Is that built-in under the switches or located somewhere else? Does anyone have a Bentley and confirm if there is a harness already in the car or is it just an extra one that runs from the switches to the seat or is it more integrated (ie - "pain in the a*s") than that?!? I have a VAG-COM, so any programming (if needed) isn't an issue.

You will need to replace the wiring harness in the door, the wiring harness under the dash, the wiring harness running to the seats and the seats themselves. It would be easier to trade your car in for one with this option. I'm sort of in the same boat and I looked into this as well.

Are you serious - different seats??? Wow. I figured that instead of the seat getting the signal from the joysticks, it would just get it from a control box which is obviously programmed w/ the memory settings. I thought for sure I'd just be replacing the regular harness w/ another one and adding the new door panel. It's amazing that a company would make so many things different over a simple option - seems cost prohibitive

You are correct, there is a "control box" and that "box" is in the seat! Hence, you would need new seats. But, you could get those out of a junkyard vehicle. It's replacing the dash wiring harness (power and fuses) that will cost you.
