So what have you done to your car today?

If searching/controlling tracks is an issue during driving, you could use Siri. I use this as a car audio system. Eg Say "Hey Siri" and the phone picks it up and allows me to voice dial/control things. I'm doing this directly with the phone, not via the cars on-board systems

I think Shack's iPhone is too old, as Hey Siri needs 6S or later.

Also, this doesn't work if phone is in pocket/bag etc.  If you put it on the dash, it really then needs to be in a cradle, else you're in that grey area.

Ideally, as Shack says, needs a firmware update on the in car entertainment system, though I fear this issue will never be fixed.


Shack, traditionally, on Mundanos, there is a 3.5mm aux socket at top of glovebox, but your manual will tell you where exactly.  This is the easiest way of getting music in, but means connecting a cable.  Similar, by wireless, is as tunnie said, Bluetooth streaming, but that may be dependent on if your car supports that without flicking to Carplay.  Both options, unfortunately, involve controlling what album is played from the phone.

Sometimes, the old technologies (ie, CDs) is so much easier than all this modern fangled tosh

Put a For Sale sign in it.....

...oh hang on, it's not mine!

Yep, give me a CD any day. Sound quality over BT is hit and miss anyway.

I occasionally get 'Siri?' coming up on my phone, but I can get rid of it OK by pressing the home button.

Press and hold the home button brings up Siri on iPhone 4s and later. "Hey Siri" is a feature of iPhone 6s and later, where you can get Siri up by just saying "Hey Siri".

Hope that clarifies

Noticed that the driver's side wiperblade is torn, so I've just ordered another pair. At £6.19, they cost as much as the three that have been on the car for the last 3 years.
I blame Brexit

Called around the local scrap metal merchants to come and take it away.....

Fitted the preface elite alloys with new tyres to the landbarge.

Washed it in the rain yesterday. The neighbours probably think I'm a mentalist. Hoping to get the wheel alignment finally done tomorrow, and give it a service next week as I think it must be due one.

Got a 4.5mm hole in one of the cat sections, thanks to plasma cutter.  5mm drill ain't touching it

Proved DSC works, in damp conditions this morning.

It lets the tail waggle a bit before putting on nanny hat.
