Since getting my new iPhone Friday, I've been playing around to see if I could get Siri working through over Bluetooth in the car. There were two challenges:
1. Activating Siri: I haven't found any way to do this using the steering wheel or any other Genesis controls. Pressing the middle "button" on the headphone cord for one second activated Siri, but the audio routed through the earbuds (as in the video on Apple's web site). The best I could do was press the home button on the iPhone, not too bad with the iPhone in my pocket.
2. Using Siri: This sort of worked. Siri's audio came through the car's speakers. I couldn't tell if my voice was going through the iPhone's or the car's mike, but Siri accepted my voice commands.
When I used Siri, the Genesis acted as if I was making a call to my own cell phone. A bit odd, but OK. (I've read similar comments from people using Siri with the Ford Sync system.)
Anyone here have more success? I'd love to use Siri while driving. Some of it is gimmicky, but it's helpful to ask it when my first appointment is and hear it say "8:30" or send texts without typing.
