What is "Hey-Mercedes" ?

Mercedes-Benz is a company that always prioritizes convenience without sacrificing luxury. One of the key features that perfectly melds together both qualities, is the in-car voice command feature: "Hey Mercedes". Similar to Siri, Amazon Alexa, or any other voice command system, "Hey Mercedes" helps with various features around your C 300, AMG GLE 53, or other Mercedes-Benz vehicle by simply using your voice.

By saying "Hey Mercedes" or by using the voice command button located on the vehicle's steering wheel, users can tell their car to do so many different actions in many different languages.

If you are familiar with the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience System), then you may already be aware of some of the features that "Hey Mercedes" is able to control.

List of Top "Hey-Mercedes!" Voice Commands

  • Can you change the ambient lighting to blue?

Mercedes-Benz Redefines Voice Control with Integration of ChatGPT

Mercedes-Benz is taking significant strides in the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). As part of their desire to innovate, Mercedes-Benz is expanding the use of AI by incorporating it into the voice control system of their vehicles. This exciting development utilizes the integration of ChatGPT, a powerful language model, into the MBUX Voice Assistant 's Hey Mercedes feature. JOIN THE BETA By integrating ChatGPT into Hey Mercedes, the voice control functionality becomes even more intuitive and enhances the overall driving experience significantly. With this advancement, Mercedes-Benz aims to provide customers with a seamless and natural interaction with their vehicles. This new feature is set to launch on June 16, 2023, as an optional beta program in the United States, available for over 900,000 vehicles equipped with the MBUX infotainment system. Participants eligible for the beta program can join through the Mercedes me app or directly from their vehicle using the voice command "Hey Mercedes, I want to join the beta program." This program will be rolled out over the air, utilizing the Azure OpenAI Service, which leverages the robust capabilities of Microsoft's cloud and AI platform. WHY CHATGPT? The integration of ChatGPT with Hey Mercedes builds upon the existing success of the MBUX Voice Assistant. Mercedes-Benz's voice control system is widely recognized for its incredibly intuitive operation and extensive command portfolio. Users can currently enjoy useful features such as sports and weather updates, location information, and smart home control, and much more. ChatGPT complements the intuitive voice control by expanding the range of topics and improving natural language understanding. Unlike conventional voice assistants that are limited to predetermined tasks and responses, ChatGPT 's advanced language model enables more dynamic and interactive conversations. Users can expect a voice assistant that not only understands natural voice commands but can also engage in meaningful dialogues. Whether it's inquiring about destination details, seeking a new dinner recipe, or asking complex questions, users can now receive more comprehensive answers while keeping their focus on the road. PRIVACY Mercedes-Benz takes data privacy seriously and ensures the protection of customer information. The collaboration with Microsoft, specifically through Azure OpenAI Service, allows Mercedes-Benz to tap into the power of ChatGPT while maintaining control over the data collected. Voice command data is stored securely in the Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Cloud, where it undergoes anonymization and analysis, meaning that the data is stripped of any personally identifiable information. This ensures users peace of mind knowing that their personal information is protected and their data is stored in a safe and secure environment. LOOKING AHEAD Mercedes-Benz constantly seeks to redefine the driving experience for its customers to stay ahead of the curve. The beta program provides an opportunity for early adopters to experience the latest technologies firsthand. During the program, valuable insights and feedback from participants will be gathered, enabling Mercedes-Benz developers to further enhance the voice control system based on specific requests and user preferences. The findings from the beta program will shape the rollout strategy of large language models in various markets and languages. Mercedes-Benz continues to push boundaries and redefine the relationship between drivers and their vehicles. Through advancements like the integration of ChatGPT, they strive to create a more seamless, intuitive, and enjoyable driving experience for all.

Mercedes-EQ Reveals Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV!

Mercedes-EQ and Mercedes-Maybach fans rejoice! The first-ever electric Mercedes-Maybach has been revealed! The new addition to the electric lineup is the most luxurious yet. Earlier this week, Mercedes-Benz debuted the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV. Akin to it’s brother, the Mercedes-EQ EQS 580 SUV, this electric SUV comes with all of the bells and whistles you can imagine. The exterior of the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 680 SUV is just as stunning as it’s non-electric counterpart, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV. Mercedes-Benz lovers on Long Island can expect to see the familiar two-tone exterior paint that we have all come to love! The new SUV also has a closed-off pinstripe grille, chrome plated B pillar trim, monoblock inspired wheels, and is adorned with the Mercedes-Maybach emblem. Taking this car for a spin on Jericho Turnpike is definitely going to turn some heads! The main difference between the interior of this electric Mercedes-Maybach and the gas-powered original, is the seating arrangements. The EQS 680 SUV provides seating for four, instead of the normal six. This creates more room for an amazingly luxurious experience in the second-row. Another notable difference is the continuous center console. The center console starts from the front row, and extends all the way to the second row, connecting with the optional champagne fridge. As if you needed another reason to stop at Wine Doc! Not only is the structure itself beautiful, but functional as well. The continuous center console contains a LED Logo projector which displays the Mercedes-Maybach emblem onto the floor of the vehicle in case you needed a reminder that you are in a Mercedes-Maybach through the amazingly plush leather and cushioning! To add to the sustainability of this electric vehicle, the aforementioned leather included in this SUV is the first to be sustainably dyed using coffee bean shells. This process cuts down on about 100 pounds of salt per vehicle that is usually used to help tan leather. The EQS 680 SUV comes standard with Executive Seats equipped with heating including neck and shoulders, ventilation, and massage functions. Opting for the Chauffeur Package allows for the option to recline the right-rear passenger seat while simultaneously moving the front passenger seat forward for maximum comfort. Additionally, the available calf massage feature makes your wildest Brookstone dreams come true. No need to stop by the Walt Whitman Mall when you have a ride like this! As with any vehicle with the Mercedes-Maybach name on it, you know the tech features are going to be good! Second row passengers can take advantage of two 11.6-inch displays mounted the the back of the front seats for both entertainment, as well as vehicle controls. While owning a EQS 680 SUV, you may not be in the driver’s seat, but you can still be the captain! Mercedes-Benz fans that are familiar with the newer models of the S-Class, may be familiar with the Burmester 4D Surround Sound System included in this SUV. This amazing speaker system uses 15 different speakers throughout the vehicle, as well as technology that allows the passengers to “feel” the music through their seats, hence the “4D” name! Fret not, the driver will experience just as much luxury as the lucky passengers! The Hyperscreen included in this SUV comes with a gorgeous Mercedes-Maybach specific dark blue theme. Various controls are accented with rose gold, and the center console cover keeps the pinstripe theme going throughout the vehicle. Although we don’t have too many details on the hardware to be included in this vehicle yet, Mercedes-Benz has stated that this electric EQS 680 SUV will be more powerful that it’s gas-powered brother, the GLS 600 SUV, with an output of 649 horsepower and 701 lb-feet of torque. The electric Mercedes-Maybach will also have a slightly different DYNAMIC SELECT experience. Instead of the usual Comfort mode, this SUV will have Mercedes-Maybach specific options that will truly give the passengers a first-class experience in terms of comfort and road-feel. We are sure this new feature would be so helpful while driving on the Northern State Parkway during pothole season! As much as it seems as if we already know much about the all-new Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV, we can’t wait to see the beautiful ride in person and experience it for ourselves! We just so happen to know someone whose personality is just as grandiose as the one presented through this beautiful vehicle… Someone whose name starts with a BIG, and ends with a STEVE! Stay tuned to see what he will have to say about this luxurious vehicle by following us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn! In the meantime, come on down to our Huntington located dealership near Greenlawn, Northport, and Dix Hills, with any questions or inquiries regarding any of the amazingly innovative vehicles in the Mercedes-EQ lineup! We can’t wait to see everyone soon!
