Using Voice Recognition oddity

[ChilliWhizz]

This morning I (for the first time) paired my phone (iphone se) with the Vantage, quite straightforward and all seems to work except... whilst experimenting with call options I found that the 'phone voice name' option (after stating this and then giving the phone voice name as requested) apparently makes contact/wakes Siri up who then asks the usual 'what can I help you with?' and 'go ahead I'm listening' . Oh, and doesn't call who I asked for either... Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this rather disturbing phenomenon

Modern technology eh.....

Interested in this, how did you get the voice option?

As far as I know I've one'll ever had the option of using the phone button on the steering wheel to dial somebody, I want aware I could activate the voice option? (Or wake up Siri of course in Apple speak)

Mine is a MY2010 Vantage if that makes a difference.

The Bluetooth Upgrade adds Siri support, which is triggered by pressing & holding the phone button on the steering wheel. Like many, I'm not confident that Siri is reliable enough to do what I ask it to. It would be great to hear other people's experiences.
Mine's a 2011 V8VS.

Hi Steve, my Vantage has the bluetooth option but not the Car Phone option, or rather the Car Phone option isn't listed on the original AM order form... I've just read the Car Phone section in my owners guide, and it makes no reference to Voice Recognition (VR), just how all the telephone buttons on the dash work.... The next section in the manual is Bluetooth, and the associated buttons for the bluetooth are all on the steering wheel (piccie below). I simply followed the instruction in the manual, which was to 'press and release' the Talk Button, and the car spoke to me

The talk button is the lower one with the phone handset, head and sound waves on it...

Hope this helps....

Ah! There's no mention of Siri in my handbook, but I've just checked and Siri wasn't released until 2011 and my Vantage was built in 2006 The mystery deepens

just checked my 2010 V12V and if you hold the telephone button for a couple of seconds siri can be activated via the handsfree, really useful. This is with Bluetooth activated on my Iphone 6
