We learned today at Apple’s Worldwide Developer’s conference that the company is working with BMW and a handful of other manufacturers to integrate Siri into select voice control systems. The idea simply integrates the technology into a vehicle’s voice command button on your steering wheel. After pressing the button you’ll be able to ask Siri questions without taking your eyes off the road. To minimize distractions even more, your iOS device’s screen won’t light up. With the Eyes Free feature, ask Siri to call people, select and play music, hear and compose text messages, use Maps and get directions, read your notifications, find calendar information, add reminders, and more. Obviously we can look for BMW and MINI to integrate it into future vehicles. However the big question of course is, will it be available for those of us with BMWs and MINIs that have bluetooth and voice command already? MotoringFile
It's already available in my justa, but I only have a justa iPhone. Maybe I'll go all the way and get an "S" and an "4S". :lol::lol: Jim
So, with all the reasons to not get an F56, now comes a feature I wouldn't mind having..... * shakes fist at cruel universe *
I have an after market Parrot system, that allows all the steering wheel buttons work and I can talk to my phone. There is always a way to get this feature on current models, without the factory installed option. Jim
