Important Information: Voice activation of Siri depends on your headset model and iPhone settings, NOT the RiderNav Display itself. The display does not have a built-in microphone for "Hey Siri" activation.
Setup Requirements:
For Siri to Work Properly:
✅ Bluetooth headset connected to iPhone
✅ iPhone connected to RiderNavDisplay via CarPlay
✅ Headset must support Siri voice activation
✅ "Hey Siri" enabled in iPhone settings
Troubleshooting Guide:
Problem: Siri Not Responding at All
Solution 1: Disconnect from BMW TFT Display
If you're using a BMW motorcycle with TFT display, disconnect your phone from the BMW TFT as it may interfere with Siri's voice routing
After disconnecting, Siri will route through your headset normally
Solution 2: Check Headset Compatibility
Not all Bluetooth headsets support "Hey Siri" voice activation
Manual Siri activation (via headset button or iPhone button) should still work
Consider upgrading to a headset with native Siri support for voice activation
Solution 3: Verify iPhone Settings
Go to iPhone Settings > Siri & Search
Enable "Listen for 'Hey Siri'"
Enable "Press Side Button for Siri" (as backup)
Complete the "Hey Siri" setup process if prompted
Problem: Siri Doesn't Activate While Riding
Explanation: When the engine is running, background noise and wind typically interfere with the iPhone's microphone, preventing it from hearing the "Hey Siri" command clearly.
Workaround Options:
Use headset button activation: Most motorcycle headsets have a dedicated button for activating Siri
Use handlebar remote: Some headsets come with handlebar-mounted remote controls
Manual activation: Briefly press your iPhone's side button (if accessible)
Best Practice: For reliable voice control while riding, we recommend using a premium motorcycle communication headset with:
Built-in Siri activation button
Advanced noise cancellation
Wind noise suppression
Clear microphone quality
Recommended Headset Features for Best Siri Experience:
✅ Native Siri support
✅ Physical Siri activation button
✅ Noise cancellation technology
✅ Wind noise reduction
✅ High-quality microphone
