Default CT and Siri problems

I don't drive the CT much, the wife usually drives it, she is an iPhone 4 with no Siri. I on the other hand have the 4s whenever I tell Siri to call anyone, she will tell me "Dialing..." but it never dials and just disconnects. Very annoying, this works perfectly on the Prius, I'd like to know if you have the same experiences or if its just me.

Same exact here. I get a "dialing" then immediate disconnect with iPhone 4 using Siri on my new CT.

On my 08 Avalon and my 05 Prius it worked fine.

We need a fix.

Found that Siri will not connect via phone on multiple Lexus models via search on Mac forums..

Not good, I guess its a wide spread problem, I'll swing my the dealership this week and complain, maybe they will have something. It works on my other cars just fine, but the A2DP enabled bluetooth seem to be the only one with the problem.

i find that Siri is really really limited to what she can understand while using BT microphone to speak to her. if i am traveling at freeway speeds (which i usually am), her accuracy is probably around 25-30%. so i have to use the available phone functions or voice recognition through the car to accomplish anything, which actually is faster to be honest.

it sucks because sometimes i want to send a text while driving by telling Siri to "text my husband i'm on the 5 freeway in traffic" and it came out with something totally wrong oh well

As mentioned before I don't drive the CT much, I did not transfer any of my contacts. The concern was why it's not working with the CT and it works on all my older Toyota/Lexus with no problems.
