Activate SIRI with new Software
Once you have connected your iPhone to the Boom Box via Bluetooth, you can push and hold the voice command button on the left control cluster for five seconds.
Then Siri will be activated and through your headset mic you can give Siri all the commands we are all used to and hear her responses.
You can get directions, find nearby restaurants, play songs, albums, podcasts, and skip to new songs by simply telling Siri!
You still may want use the GPS built into the Boom Box and you can.
Instead of holding the voice command button for five seconds you simply push it quickly and let up and the Boom Box voice command menu will appear instead of Siri activation. Then, through your headset mic you can give the Boom Box all the specific commands we have all become accustomed to, such as navigation.

Just wanted to +1 on the Siri integration. Really expands the capabilities of the boom system if you have an iPhone. I've noticed with this version of the software however that sometimes Siri will stay on the screen even after the command has been completed. Wasn't like that with the 1.20.3 version. No biggie - just hit the thumb button and it goes away, but it's what I'd call a bug.

Question about siri
I have an Android phone and was thinking about changing to iPhone. So if I'm riding , and I activate Siri, it will give me directions, traffic updates and any other Siri functions as long as I want? For an entire trip ? Also let's say I tell Siri to start iHeartRadio . Would I conceivably be able to automatically listen to that ?
i figure if it's that good and I am going to upgrade anyway..What the heck.
