Change your car's name?

Instead of "Hey, BMW ..." I want to change the name of my vehicle. I checked the manual but struck out. Can anyone help me?

My car won't let me change the wake word. I only see the ability to turn off the wake ogrse "Hey BMW". If I try to use personal assistant to change the wake word it tells me that function is unavailable. Any idea what may be causing this?

Thanks

What software version are you on? Have you tried to reboot the idrive system?

My Car's name is Gary, as in Gary Busey and those huge front teeth of his. 😁

I just walk up to the car and say “your name is now Sally”.

They don’t have feelings. You can do what you want to them.

So I checked for software updates and it said that I have an update available. It's downloaded and I'll try to find time tomorrow to install the update and will check to see if I have the option then.

Thanks for the help!
