But why tho? That’s such a random thing to trigger on. Is it anywhere near “hey google” in Dutch or something?

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.

Ah, pronunciation must be different than I expected. In my head I did “eye-er” like in German, but I looked up Dutch and apparently that’s “ey-er” there, so way closer to “hey.”
