pioneer p2400bt and triggering voice recognition

[bdee1]

Hi I have a quick question about my new Pioneer p2400bt head unit. I love the fact that it has the hands free calling with the external microphone - the sound quality seems really good but there is one thing I cant figure out.

I know that I can initiate a call by pressing the phone icon and then accessing my phone book or recent calls list, but I am using an iphone 4s, and it seems like there should be a button to just launch siri on the iphone.

In the manual (page 55) it says that i can press and hold the button which switches between a phone call and bluetooth audio streaming and it will trigger the voice recognition on the phone, but when i hit the phone button, that button is not displayed.

can someone help em figure this out?

I have the 2400BT. My understanding of the manual is this is not a model where you can trigger phone voice recognition features through the head unit. I know exactly the button you speak of and it doesn't show up for me either when I am trying to do this. I think this may be possible on certain other models but on this one your only option would be to trigger SIRI through the phone.

Keep in mind Pioneer uses the same manual for many models. Yours may not have that function.
