wow, you clearly have never used MyFordTouch (MFT) or talk to anyone who has for more than a minute, it is the joke of the auto world and the bain for most that own ford with it. i own a Flex and it is the only thing about the whole car I dont love. I hate it on so many levels. There are other folks that actually bought a lower trim model Flex and gave up other things they really wanted just so they could get a dash without MFT in it!
Im doing major work to put a iPad mini in my Flex to free myself from MFT as much as i can as fast as i can

could be missing something but i have already found that when iPhone is connected to a car stereo via bluetooth that Siri functions eyes free already.
as in, instead of just showing a result to a voice enquiry, siri reads the result out (which isn't done when requests are made directly on the phone)
examples being, "open text message" and having siri read it out.
