How can I use Siri in my car?

Postby lump_a_charcoal » Thu Mar 13, 2014 8:07 am

Hey all,

I have migrated to an iPhone 5S, as it is my new work phone.
I have only just started using Siri, and I am quite impressed.
Yesterday I tried using Siri with the bluetooth pairing in my car, but it couldn't hear me through the car mic.

Any tips? I guess ideally I would be able to press the speak button on the steering wheel and have Siri pop up, but I don't know if this is possible.


Thanks.

I had no issues in my SH Foz... but I'm sure the system was different to your GenV one...

All I had to do, no matter what was playing through the head unit, was push and hold the Home button on my iP5 to activate Siri. Worked near-flawlessly (windows up tends to help ;) )

If the speak button has BT functionality, try holding it down for as long as it takes to activate Siri...

Thats how it works with the Belkin Aircast BT...
