Does anyone know how to turn off access protection (fingerprint reader)? I would rather not have to give provide my fingerprint each time I turn on the car to get my settings restored. I am the only one that drives the car so its just an extra step that I rather avoid if possible.

 

I don't believe you can disable the feature - but if you setup facial recognition for your profile, then the car will recognize you when you get in and sit down.

 

do you know where I set up facial recognition? I cant seem to find where to set it up.

 

Can you get to this link --> Overview of user profiles | S-Class Sedan March 2024 MBUX | Mercedes-Benz (mbusa.com)

If you can, scroll down and watch the video - they show you how to do.

 

It looks like you can turn Access Protection off.

 

This video is very good:
Even though it's for setting up an EQS, I found most of it to be very useful for setting up my EQE, which is largely the same in MBUX.
The access portion of the video starts at the 6:00 mark.

 

Great video.

 

You can definitely turn it off. It will still let you select profiles by fingerprint it just won't require its use
