Why doesn't the main call button turn on siri after being pressed for a few seconds instead of dialing the last called number?

if this is the same version as the one I just got (and the intercom won't work) you have to press the phone button twice to go to voice recognition on your phone. Works with my note2 and my wifes galaxy s4.

These were designed before the iPhone 4S and are also compatible with android device which don't have Siri. Also they're pretty cheap.

It works great with Siri!! It's one of my favorite features of the phone. When I'm driving I just push the top button and it activates Siri. I say "Call Joe Smith" and it calls Joe Smith. If I get a text, push the button say "Read Text Message" and they're read, giving you the option to speak your reply. I can also push the button and say "Where's the closest Dunkin Donuts (not that eat them LOL) and Siri will find it and ask me if I would like to call it or get directions. It really helps keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.

hi, yes siri will work. Press and hold the phone button for 2-3 seconds on your left ear, until you hear voice dial

I don't do it that often, but I think you only can see that option when you are "in" a call. I think the top left button brings up that option. Works well.

Uh, press the button once to make a call, press the button twice to repeat the last call you made. Not like it's a big deal and documented in the foldout.

In normal mode, all handsets ring when a call comes in. But if you have it set on auto attendant, the caller gets sent to the voice menu, and only the base unit rings first. If the base unit doesn't get answered in the set time you give it, it goes to the voice menu and the caller can select which person they want to reach and then that phone will ring.

Press the speaker as it is the answer and end call button. Press the speaker twice and it dials the last number called. Press and hold the speaker and it activates voice response if your phone has that capability.

No, it doesn't work as a multi-function button, nor does it activate Siri or S-Voice (on Android). This is a major bummer about this otherwise nice device. If that is what you need your Bluetooth device to do, look at the Noisehush, or even most cheaper, lesser known brands - usually they do work in that manner. I have tested it on several devices. Although others state they can successfully accomplish it, it hasn't worked for me. I am an electronics engineer - so perhaps mine is defective? That's just my experience. Battery life is quite decent the limited times I have used it (because of the non-activating button). Sound quality is also good.

Yes. Hold the center button for a second to get Siri. If you hold it too long you stop Bluetooth.

Yes. It needs to be paired with your Bluetooth enabled smartphone first, then you just need to push the call/disconnect button on the device to initiate a call. For instance on my iPhone, after I push the button Siri gets ready to receive a voice command and then dials the phone number of the person you want to speak with. Only one quick push and your hand goes back to the steering wheel. The sound and volume of the device is also very good.

It's actually 2 buttons. You hit the memory button + then the number associated with the person you want to call. ie. 1, 2 , 3 etc.

Mine didnt voice dial initially. However, if you have an iphone and do the most recent software upgrade, you get a SIRI dial screen and you can use SIRI to do whatever SIRI doesAlso Im not sure who told you the 940 does it all, it was the low end model of the NAV series. Its does a ton of things, esp in regards to sound shaping and listening options, but the 7" and 8" Alpines NAV decks have more features (free traffic, ), but no voice dial, until the 2014 SIRI upgrade

If you select another unit and call it, it becomes voice-activated so that the callee can answer from across the room. This mes and the system reverts to the default (not voice activated) in a minute or so.

Sorry I can't answer that question since all my devices are Android. I know that by holding the Play/Pause button open the voice dialer and by double pressing the power button dialed the last contact. Sorry that I couldn't answer your question but I hope this helped a bit.
