I have a 2014 and my car does not have the Siri eyes free.

What happens when you press and hold the talk button on the steering wheel?

It's the Off Hook button. What system do you have? The Nav and Display Audio OM's both show support for Siri.

It just beeps. Only way Siri works through the speakers is if I hold the home button on the phone. Which is pretty useless since I don't want to hold my phone to use the hands free aspect. Tried the off hook button and it just beeps as if there is no option. Bluetooth is on.

Would be funny if Siri eyes free is another fail, just like the text reply option.

What audio system do you have? When you start it using the phone, do you get the special screen (if you have a system with the screen)?

Whatever is stock, not Mark Levinson (if that's the name). What special screen are you referring to? If I hold the home button on the phone I get the mobile assistant on my screen. That's the only way I've been able to access it so far.

Apple has not released iOS in the car yet. Wonder if that could be the issue. It will come out with iOS 7.1.

Hmm, if you get Mobile Assistant, then you have it. Maybe have your steering controls checked out? Holding down the Off Hook switch should send it into the Mobile Assistant screen and start Siri.

Not sure why it's happening. Just beeps twice. Maybe I have to activate something on the phone or in the car settings? I

The mobile assistant is Siri. Double check your settings on the phone. Siri needs to be set to allowed while the phone is locked.
