Does your TL work with Siri?

Just wondering if anyone has any success to have Siri listen/talking through the HFL on TL...

Thanks!

I have not gotten Siri to work, though I have tried many times including selecting the triangle on the phone and selecting Hands Free Link. Siri just bings and closes, never allows me to talk. I am curious if anyone else has gotten her to work as well.

I often have SIRI "read" me texts to me through the HFL. That is about all I have tried.

I don't know if this is exactly what you mean but Siri always works in my car via the home button on my iPhone in other words she comes over the HFL and performs any task for me I just have to use the Home button on the iPhone. I have read texts, gotten directions, made calls w/ out the number being preprogramed into the HFL and much more. All this is just done via the Home button and is really no more inconvenient than pressing the HFL button.

Forgot to mention of course the phone is connected via Bluetooth as well. But it will always stop the music and perform what is asked.

Is your iphone 5 or 4s?
The Siri on my ip5 (6.1.3) does not even pump through HFL nor coming out from the phone... I think it stuck in between and not usable in my car when connect to HFL via BT..

I finally figure this out guys. For '13 TL with Nav/Tech:

In phone setup (under Cellular phone menu after pressing the phone button), there is an auto transfer setting (phone to auto transfer to HFL or "Hands Free Link"). Turn this on. Any BT/Siri prompt from the phone will auto play through the speakers. Hope this helps. Also as an added bonus, when you dial from your phone - it actually "automatically transfers". Who would have thought it was this easy?
