Hey BMW or ???
How many of you have changed the voice command Hey BMW to something else?
If you changed it, what do you call it? |

A mixed blessing. We find it going off whenever you mention the "B" word, which is easy to do in a "B" car, and thought originally you could change the "wake word" just like, f'rinstance, someone called "Alexa." You can indeed add another wake word - but you have to keep "Hey BMW" turned on for it to operate, which sort of defeats the purpose for what we want.

Before I returned my previous G05, I changed it to "Hey Lemon".
...the reason why is obvious To be fair, the replacement vehicle I've been given has been absolutely flawless since delivery back in Sept 2019 - just shows how you really can get a bad one! |

No matter what you change it too, it will still respond to Hey BMW.... I find that annoying because it will pick up with the word BMW as well from time to time....

Have you tried a combination of the two? That way you can both get what you want.

It's my wife's car but I drive it when we go places together. So her name would be a bit weird.
I hate Hey BMW. I took a group of hiking buddies with me on a trip and every time I said Hey BMW I could literally hear their eyes rolling |

Agnes
I renamed mine to "Agnes." It was a name I'm sure I won't encounter with anyone and don't know when I would say it for anything else. Makes it very specific to activating the feature.
I would say to choose a name you know you won't say otherwise. |

I call mine Helga. She's my German masseuse. You can say 'Helga, rub my back' and it turns on the seat massage.
