Default Mysterious “no microphone” icon

This morning, a mysterious icon showing a microphone with the nullification icon showed up on the dashboard display and would not go away. The steering wheel display control didn’t do anything.

Does anyone know what this means and how to get rid of it while driving? It disappeared after I parked the car and restarted it, but it was an inconvenience not to have the center display for the 30 mile drive to work.

HAAAA, it's the CIA listening in man! The symbol means they lost connection.

I'm just kidding. If you have a iphone its Siri no longer listening to you. If you have Andriod, its google no longer listening to you. If you hold your "off hook" button the steering wheel, this activates the feature. So if you hold the button, you will see the mic and hear a beep. Once you are done speaking, you will hear a beep and see that icon, meaning it is no longer listening.

But remember, they are always listening.
