Default Siri integration without NAV unit

I don't have NAV and can't get my car to access my music on my iPhone or get Siri to work without actually pressing the iPhone button. Has anyone accomplished this? The audio commands are only working with XM and radio. Thanks for the help.

I had issues with Siri at first. If Siri stopped working on your phone altogether after connecting to the car, shut Siri off and turn it back on. That's what fixed it for me. If you hold the phone button on the steering wheel down long enough to hear the Siri beep, then you can use Siri through the car. I have a '15, some said it won't work on a '14. I'm not sure about that.

That is exactly what I do to send text messages from my 2015 Corvette (with navigation unit). Works like a charm. I also have Siri read me my incoming text messages to keep it all hands free.

You also have to have show notifications turned on in your iPhone My Link Bluetooth settings. (oh, and I don't have Nav.)

OK! Can someone tell me if holding the phone button down to activate SIRI works on the 2014's. Thanks for your time.

Cheers,
