iPhone 4S siri with lexus stock bluetooth
Anyone figure out a decent way to turn on Siri without physically holding the home button on the iphone? When you use a bluetooth headset, you can hold the pickup/end call button on the headset to activate Siri. Doing this on a lexus obviously just brings up the phone menu and dial pad on the car's nav screen.

Siri & Lexus Bluetooth
I've found that you have to press the home button to turn siri on; no other way of doing it. However, I have a real issue with dialing. I can bring someone's name up successfully with siri, but when she says she's dialing, the bluetooth hangs up. So, I can't make a call using siri. I can ask siri questions and she'll answer them through the audio system, but I can't make a call. Any suggestions?

2010 RX350 not working with 4s
I have a Lexus 2010 RX350 and it connects via Bluetooth but when I try and dial out or receive a call my 4s won't put the audio thru the car - it only puts it thru the 4s. Normally, I would just tap the 4s speaker in the dial window and select the Lexus or speaker or headset. The only option available is the speaker. Siri works to dial - but the phone disconnects as soon as it starts to dial.
The Lexus works fine with the iPhone 4 but not the 4s.
Has anyone called Lexus?

Siri dialing
I am having the same issue. When I tell Siri "Call *contact", the call starts but the call disconnects immediately. When I bring up a contact and tap their number, the call works.

Downloading your contacts will work around your issue, but not "solve" it. The problem for me has been that I have too many contacts and numbers to download, so that work around doesnt help me in many instances. Why they have not resolved the pairing issue to work better with the IOS devices and siri/voice commanding is beyond me.
