Is there anyway to access Siri from ford sync voice control. I'm tired of playing pocket pool trying to find my home button for Siri. The voice controls for sync are ridiculous but if it could access Siri then I'd be a happy camper. I know I can plug the phone in and use hey Siri but I never plug my phone in. I hope one of you guys or gals have figured out the secret sync command to do this.

Only way I know how is to push the home button on the phone, Siri will come thru the bluetooth, and will listen thru the car mic, Sync will show phone active. It does the same thing with Google Voice.

If your phone is plugged into a power source and you say "hey siri" she will automatically reply through the speakers via bluetooth... works like a charm!

Just tried that With OK Google and it worked as well. Awesome tip.

I wished someone from Ford would fix such an obvious oversight. People are so impressed when Siri speaks over my speakers and I talk to her via the truck mic. What they don't know is all the fumbling around I did in my pocket to make that happen.

It is my hope that the apple watch fixes my problem but I only put the odds at 50/50.

So hey, I betcha he didn't know that if you plug in the phone and say "hey Siri....."

I wasn't an obvious oversight! They never intended to make the system work exclusively with Siri. If you want that kind of function then drop the coin and get a system put in with Apple play.

And let's be honest, this is a first world problem IF you can even call it a problem. Plug in your phone and stop blaming an auto manufacture for not making their system work with one phone on the market. Well it works perfect with the phone but you want one function to work wirelessly while it works fine plugged in.

Just a matter of opinion. Ford pushed out an update to sync which could have included access to siri or google. Simple in software and people with smart phones (fords customers) would have been happier. Not making your customers happy when it costs you nothing is my definition of an obvious oversight.

You speak like you know Ford's intent, I for sure don't and would argue someone there is not paying attention.
