MBUX "Hey Mercedes"
Does anyone on this forum know whether or not "Hey Mercedes" in the new MBUX system can be re/programmed to say something like "Hey Bob" or "Hey Susan" or something like that?

I don't think so. I've had '20 GLC a month now and can't find any settings to do that. I also recall a review of the model and the same determination by the moto-journalist, but I think that may have come from a M-B engineer. Have to refrain from mentioning the car brand or you will be repeatedly shouting "cancel" at the car.

Maybe a future update. Until then, loving MBUX and the new GLC!

I already had several instances that i had to yell cancel. I know the A class has it and it wasn't just a beta version of MBUX. The A class also lets you change the speedometer to a different screen. I was wondering if it was because the A class has a full rectangular screen, but the image on the display is always rounded in the shape of the GLC instrument cluster.
Maybe a future update. Until then, loving MBUX and the new GLC!

Our 2020 immediately wakes up to just saying Mercedes. You absolutely don't have to say hey first. This is annoying. And it also mistakes many combinations of words for Mercedes when people are talking in the car.
I hate all voice-based systems because I am one of those people that none of them can understand what I am saying. Something about the tone of my voice. Humans have no problem, but it's the same with Siri and Echo. If I would take the time to figure out if the voice activation could be turned off altogether on MBUX, I would do that.

You can turn off the "Hey Mercedes" feature which would then just require pressing the switch on the steering wheel to activate the command.
You cannot change the command prompt unfortunately.
If you purchase the 12.3" display option, it is not the same as the A Class, GLE, GLS, CLA, etc. therefore you cannot put the full screen map on this display like you can on those other cars.

I have a new MLB but my problem is I don't know what to say. The sun Shade opens but you have to have the right "command words". They are not in the manual. I wish there was a list f commands it does besides the ones in the manual.

Does the new MBUX in the GLC have the ability to display the navigation map in full screen mode on the cockpit display. Like the one in the video, skip to 1:59

You don't have to yell at her when "Hey Mercedes" response is unwanted, just tap the phone "end call" button, right side of steering wheel. I found this out after almost yelling myself hoarse.

I think there is a setting for this -- in the MBUX system, go to Settings > System, then look for the voice response item (Linguatronic is the Mercedes trade-name they often use). Make sure Hey Mercedes is turned on, and also the option for you to talk over it (which means it's listening when speaking). The latter makes it easy to interrupt it with a follow-up / new command.

I am told that when working the word 'Mercedes' alone triggers the reply. If that is the case it's an unfortunate choice, because there are people named Mercedes and one may be talking about Mercedes. it may be best if it does not work.

I assume that when you use the steering wheel button, it listens and responds to your request (just making sure the microphone is working). If that's the case, go to your dealer and ask to speak with their technology expert and get them to figure it out. It's not the service dept (though the service receptionist may be able to direct you).

How can I personalize "Hey Mercedes"
Hello,
I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere, but I cannot find the answer on these threads. I have a 2021 GLE and I want to change "Hey Mercedes" to a different name like "Hey, Buddy" or "Hey, IsforHorses." Thanks.
