Default New owner - phone questions

Hi all, I am a new owner of RC350 F-sport and am having some problems with my Siri hands free, I can't get it to activate without touching my phone?
Or the music to start from my phone without touching it? What am I doing wrong?

Once you pair the phone with the car via Bluetooth, it will pair and link up by itself every time you start the car, so that's the first thing you need to do.
Once paired, you can access Siri from one of the 3 phone buttons on the steering wheel by holding it in for a few seconds. It's not the voice button - that one goes to the car's voice commands. It's either the on-hook or off-hook button, but I forget which, as I don't use that feature very much.

On your phone, make sure you go into Settings > Siri and make sure "Access When Locked" is enabled (green) or it won't work.

Thanks so very much, I finally got it to work!! People kept telling me it was the hang up button plus I didn't have "Hey Siri" activated on my phone so it's now working all hands free!!!
