MBUX Beta Program

I noticed with the latest iOS update for Mercedes Me Connect, there appears to be a Beta program we can opt in to to "...get access to test features for [our] MBUX infotainment system[s]". But I can't seem to find where to do that. Anyone have any ideas?

you have to go to the Legal part of the app and agree to 'additional terms of use' in the connect terms of use section.

Make sure your auto sync is enabled in the app, or sync it manually. However, as of this morning I couldn't find this thing in the car. let us know if you do.

The terms of use is indeed there, but not the actual beta section.

Have you tried MBUX, saying I want to participate in the Beta program and see if it works?

I asked the car and it gave me a QR code to scan.
Code links here: https://beta.mercedes-benz.com/enroll
It opens the app, but it didn't do anything. Android app must still need updating. I'm on version 3.32.

Nope. But I actually just went to the app store page and the update button was there! It worked on that version.

What's new in this Beta?

MB better have some amazing new tricks up it sleeves. Given the amount of trouble I've had, with even the 'stable' release of MBUX, it will take some serious convincing to enlist me (and I suspect many others here) to be their lab rat

So that the car can tell a greater variety of jokes, not just ones related to BMW and Audi? Ok I guess

This morning I was taking a friend to the airport. I asked Hey Mercedes "What’s the status of Delta flight 20?" She responded with the flight information just like Amazon Echo devices do.

Unfortunately, I then asked her to tune to Yacht Rock Radio as I have a hundred times before. Sadly, she rattled off some nonsense about her being a digital assistant (or something like that), and that she can't do it, but rather for me to tune to the station using MBUX. So that’s unfortunate. Hopefully Mercedes will bring this feature back soon.

I am surprised it gave you even that much. All data in ChatGPT is up to sept 2021 for now. So you cannot get any sport scores and stuff like that. But apparently, there are some updates that Microsoft is making on its own to interface with various data providers. This is the benefit that we bring to the service: it notes what we are interested in the most and would incorporate it in the future release.
