Hello



So today I brought home my first Mercedes Benz. It is a 2022 A180 Sedan



Prior to purchasing I watch a number of videos, particularly on the MBUX system and was looking forward to playing with that feature.



A few of the commands I was eager to use worked perfectly

• Hey Mercedes I’m hot/cold
• Hey Mercedes change radio station
• Hey Mercedes take me home
• AC on/off
• Open sliding sun shade

Some others I was looking forward to doing paused and asked me to repeat my command before telling me that it couldn’t do that right now (tried many times)

• open sunroof (the actual glass part)
• How’s the weather today
• Navigate to what 3 words
• Activate ejector seat (lol)
• Tell me a joke
• What do you think of Audi
• I’m lay a specific song

I’m not sure why some commands work perfectly and some seem to not be understood and wondering if there was some setting I had to change.



The system says there are no updates required

As you use the voice command systems, it will get better at recognizing your intent. Having said that, after 5 years with my A class I’m unimpressed with its performance. The voice recognition is not as good as I experienced on previous Japanese makes.

Changing the wording can help. Also, if a particular command is often not recognized, try starting from the appropriate screen. E.g. before issuing a Navi command, switch to the Navi screen.

Getting a joke response seems to depend on whether you are in motion or stopped.

I tried a weather request successfully: I believe I asked “tell me the weather” and it announced the current weather and displayed the forecast on the screen.
