    Yeah it kinda sounds like it. The eier kind of sounds like hey, and koeken sounds a bit like Google.

    I’ve had a few other accidental activations, that I couldn’t explain that easily, even from podcasts, that I decided that I didn’t need it. But in Android Auto I couldn’t find to option to turn off the activation phrase, so instead I turned it off completely.
