I absolutely cannot work out how to talk to Siri on my ip6...everytime i say 'send (or compose, write etc..) text to ___, it NEVER understands and asks me to repeat or gives some totally unrelated feedback. I don't get Siri's voice at all, just the built in voice in the car (is this a substitute for the Siri voice?). Tutorial videos on youtube have them checking the calendar, updating facebook etc, but this simply doesn't work.
