CX-5, iPhone 4S and Siri

Whilst stuck in traffic on my way home today I decided to press the Siri button on my iPhone while it was connected via Bluetooth... I was surprised to hear the sound through the car speakers and able to give commands through the inbuilt handsfree!
Interestingly, it appears on the centre console screen as a call to answerphone, can cancel conversation using the hangup button on steering wheel.

Was this a known thing or have I stumbled upon something unexpected?

So I'm guessing NOBODY has anything to add on this? Oh well!

I have used that a few times before on this system and I used to use it once in a while on my kenwood dnx6140 in my Mazda 3.

You are lucky. I have an iPhone 5 and can't get Siri to work at all when the phone is connected via bluetooth. I have also had trouble receiving incoming calls but seemed to have found a solution for that one. Hopefully Mazda will come up with a software update to make it compatible with iPhone 5.

Yeah I got an iPhone 5 when it came out and have same issues since. I have heard it is fixed in the IOS 6.1 beta releases though so shouldn't be a problem after it officially comes out!

Fingers crossed that IOS 6.1 fixes it.

To each, his own. And competition is the very driver of innovation, so it's best to have variety than not.

I'm also waiting on the fix for the iPhone 5 Bluetooth. It worked fine in my CX-7 and works perfectly in my wife's Mazda 3. Not sure why the CX-5 doesn't work properly. Frustrating...
