Siri Integration - Just Discovered We Have It

Maybe everyone knows this already but I just found out that if you press the voice button once you get the iDrive system. But if you press and hold the voice button it activates Siri on your phone! I assume it works the same for android as well.

Problem is, Siri is a stupid idiot. I tried asking her to find a phone number for me tonight. "Find the phone number to [restaurant name]." She responds with I found something on Wikipedia about telephone numbers, do you want me to read it? No bitch, you're a stupid idiot.

The problem is that I will be on a phone call and my Ipad thinks it heard me say that, and rudely starts talking, disrupting my phone call :-) At least you can "deselect" the feature.

Thanks for this. Just tried out in the car - have not been using Siri too much but there is also the "Hey Siri" option if you have it enabled on the phone and your phone plugged in via lightning cable.

yeah, it's a cool feature. the most practical use i've found is to dictate text messages via Siri.
