I usually sign in to my 2022 EQS sedan when I drive. But it does apparently nothing. Does not adjust the seat and mirrors to my settings. Does not adjust the climate control or the media interface. Does not adjust regen setting. What benefit is this feature?
I set up my personal profile; it calls me by name. I have saved, for example, the seat position using the buttons on the door. Do I need to save it in a second profile?

Try setting another profile and play around with it, maybe it glitched out.

These profiles seem to have a mind of their own, I have not learned to master them properly. But if your seats were not adjusted to your settings, someone must have been driving the car previously. Perhaps this driver used your profile and adjusted seats to his/her linking?
I am tall, and my wife is not. We both drive our EQS a fair amount. What's the point of having the profile settings for your seats if the seats don't move BEFORE you get into the car? Every Porsche and BMW I've owned for the last decade (or more) has tied the profile to the KEY. You use the key to remotely unlock the door, and the seat, steering wheel, and mirrors all adjust as you walk towards the car. As it stands, now, I have to unlock the car and use a seat preset (and wait) and then call up my profile for the car once I can physically get into the darn seat. From what I've read, even the EQE has the ability to tie ("secure") the profile to the key. Why doesn't the EQS?

I guess the only way is (I think it was mentioned) is memorize the exit position as I guess "3" then restore to driver position "1".
Can you compare the two software versions? Yours and theirs?
Mine is E329, which is older, as I understand it. E445 and higher seems to be where the feature starts showing up on EQE’s, based on what I read in the EQE part of this forum. I need to make up some crap about something wrong with my car and see if I can get the software upgraded to E505 (again, based solely on my reading, not on any actual facts). Perhaps with a newer version I can see if the feature shows up.

That is not MBUX 2.6.1 if I recalled that folks are getting lately. I wonder if you can bring the vehicle in and force them to update to the latest version that way.
24 EQS 580 4matic sedan Pinnacle trim w/Exec. rear seating pkg.
The 2023 EQS 450’s fingerprint scanner was a lesson in forced tolerance. While it would, eventually, find the correct profile, its performance was unforgivably temperamental—a flawed system demanding user patience for a basic function.
The 2024 EQS 580 doesn't just improve upon this; it renders the entire clumsy process obsolete. Facial recognition provides instantaneous, seamless authentication. This isn't an "improvement"; it is the correct solution from the start.
The proof is not some trivial icon on a screen; it is the immediate transformation of the cabin's atmosphere. My profile engages, bathing the interior in vibrant blue light at maximum intensity and—most importantly—silencing the contrived powertrain acoustics. This stands in stark opposition to the other driver, who prefers muted lighting and the full "Enterprise woosh" enabled.
There is no ambiguity. The car simply knows. Instantly.
Furthermore, the dynamic cruise control has been meaningfully refined. The interval before the system demands you touch the steering wheel has nearly doubled. This is a significant, welcome change that reduces digital nagging and better trusts the driver's attention.

Strange, I don't have problems with ours, did you try training a different fingerprint?
