Turn off access protection?
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.

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.

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