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....

We asked the grandson what we should call it - I am now saying Booty Butt a lot.

My daughter added "Huggies". It hugs (my first with this feature) as you start driving.

First I tried “hey shithead”. Didn’t work maybe there is a filter. Now it’s “hey gorgeous”. I like it

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

You actually don't need to use "hey". I renamed mine to Elsa (don't ask) and I'm just saying "Elsa, take me to ..." "Elsa, I'm cold" and it works just fine.

“Let it go...let it go....can’t hold it back anymore.”

I bet ”the cold never bothered you anyway.”

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.
