Siri in my R1T, WTH!

[Singletracker]

So, I’m driving along minding my own business when, out of nowhere, my car audio says, loud and clear, “You’re welcome.” Whoa! WTH was that? At the time, I was not listening to anything on the car audio. At first, I thought maybe it was an Alexa thing, but I do not use nor do I have Alexa activated. My iPhone was sleeping on the center console, so I thought I would try the Hey Siri thing. Sure enough, I got a chime over the car audio system, indicating Siri was awake. As a test, I asked Siri to send a text. Siri responded, I dictated and sent the text - all over the Rivian audio system. Then, I asked when the Warriors were playing again and the response came over the car audio. Then, I asked Siri for some directions. In this case, I did get the directions, but they came via my phone. I have never had this experience in the year and half I have owned my R1T. I need to play with this some more.

I can’t recall anybody mentioning this experience, and I had no idea Siri could function through the car audio system In this manner. Kinda cool.

It’s just a function of the phone via Bluetooth and works in pretty much any car made in the last 10-15 years.

Yes, I’ve been using Siri for reading and sending texts on my trips. It is a good work around until texting through Rivian is implemented.

I must have been talking to myself to activate Siri ? Don’t know why it hasn’t happened before, however.

I use it to make phone calls and play podcasts. I used it for music before native Apple Music arrived. Rivian needs to add a way to do voice search for Apple Music - it didn’t sound as good but was much easier asking Siri to play what I wanted.

Been using Siri since 2022 just keep your phone face up, it’s not part of the truck it just uses your phone / integrated audio via Bluetooth

I use it in many of the same ways already mentioned.
