Two questions after using the car for 2 weeks now.
1) I am guessing no, but is there a way to change "Hey Mercedes" prompt? I am used to pronouncing closer to German way and it doesn't trigger the voice prompt. I have to end it with "eez" for voice prompt to kick-in in my US model.
2) Is there a list of gestures somewhere? I discovered opening the sunroof and closing it, the favorite gesture and lights coming up when you reach in to passenger seat. Is there anything for play/pause for example?
I eventually became tired of saying Hey Mercedes, it sounds stupid also, so I just press the button on the steering wheel that looks like a face talking. It’s faster also.

I wish they had few more dedicated gestures. Other than the gesture to open the sunroof, the customizable gesture can be only assigned to one thing. I like how BMW does. You will have several gestures letting you do many things like skipping the song, pausing, lowering the volume etc.

People called it a gimmick on the BMW at first but now that they all started removing physical buttons and making everything integrated in the screen, it is pretty much a must have...
Since I enabled the ChatGPT beta, the system only responds to 'Hey Mercedes' which I feel is the way the system should behave. Many times I would be discussing our EQS SUV with a friends and 'Mercedes' pops up in the conversation and the system would respond. That no longer is happening. Anyone else on the ChatGPT beta noticing the same?

Mercedes thinks I am yelling when I say "Hey" so "Hey Mercedes" and ignores me, only responses when I say "Mercedes"... I wonder if I should run/try that voice personalization program or reset it and let it learn again. I don't have an accent, other than Canadian accent which technically we don't even have an accent, if that matters or reason why the car is not understanding me correctly.

How does the car answer you when you say “Hey Mercedes, Tell me aboot the weather.” 😊
