So I was in my 2020 GLC with my 6 year old daughter who loves that "Daddy's car can talk back", and she wanted to ask it how many days until summer. I told her that the car can only do things related to the car and driving. But she insisted, so I asked. AND IT ANSWERED CORRECTLY! I asked other questions including how many days in a particular month and a few simple math questions (addition and multiplication), and it answered those too!

So just for fun, what random things have you asked the MBUX that it actually knew the answer to? Honestly, I was very surprised on how much it can respond back!

Gotta check this out today. Will get back to you.

Ask your car "When will my GLC350e b e EPA approved and when will it be built." Bet you'll stump MBUX with that one.

It can answer complex, multi-part questions as well. Try this one: "Who is the Prime Minister of Canada and how old is Justin Bieber". It'll give you BOTH answers.
Couple other fun ones to try: "Tell me a joke" (do this multiple times - it has different answers)
"What do you think of BMW?" (again, multiple answers for this one)

I just realized something, this is not going to work for me because my car is not connected. 😔
It's completely offline in my region.

There are (2) "brain's" in the MBUX system - the "right brain" which is the basic voice recognition and connectivity to select car systems (Hey Mercedes how much gas do I have?) and the "left brain" which after purchase is connected to the Cloud.

Think of the "left brain" as similar to Google Assistant - not all those same Google functions - but connected to the Cloud/Web to do some interesting stuff

I hope the web connectivity with MBUX is better than on my 2018 GLC300. I did not continue the trial subscription because the connection was not only slow but it continually dropped. If my 2020 (or 2021 if it goes too long) ever arrives, I'll compare to the 2018 before continuing paid subscription.

MBUX Connection is free - and very smooth by-and-large - you might "look forward" rather than "looking back"

I ticked every single option on my built-to-order GLC, but connectivity is not available for my region. Is there any way to activate it?

Ask 'who is the president of the united states' and you will be surprise to hear what it answer.

Also try to ask 'what is the score of last night's canucks game'.

" but connectivity is not available for my region" - well you might tell the group where you are located - then someone "might" be able to help ..

Weird. I asked my Mercedes who the US President was and it gave me the correct answer -- nothing witty or funny. I'd post what she said, but her answer was too depressing.
