Functions such as call contacts, select and play music, etc. will be available when the telephone microphone assembly recognizes the user's voice.

      3. The system responds with search results screen display and synthesized voice.

      4. When the Siri/Google Now function is used to call a contact or listen to music stored on the user's device, the system will automatically transition to the phone call or audio screen.

        Tech Tips


        • If the user uses the Siri play song feature and the iPhone is not selected as the current audio source, the song will start playing only on the iPhone.

        • The available features and functions may vary based on the iOS/Android version installed on the connected device.
