Thank you very much, you pretty much made my day
The option is easy to find, the problem is I hadn't noticed there was a new Connected app that combines previous the previous Remote and Connected apps.

Siri doesn't always read it back to me. And it often misinterprets the same words. As Yuri (?) in the video did with 'mount view' vs 'mountain view' let alone the variants of 'Jacob'. It has meant some hilarious and nonsensical exchanges via iMessage and SMS. such as 'In a tree' when the real phrase was 'I am intrigued'.
Dictation on iPhone is surprisingly accurate. Siri though is a very mixed bag I have felt the frustration shown in the video on many occasions asking Siri to perform simple tasks like play a particular artist or song, or to obtain directions to places, and especially for iMessage and SMS.

Apple maps will pause podcasts for you. But you have to go deep into the map app's settings to do this. Same with changing the directions volume relative to other iPhone audio. Not good.
Pausing is turned on by default. The volume of the directions is controlled by the audio in your car. Took me awhile to figure out the latter because it was set so low at first, and you have to turn it up while Siri is speaking, but once you do, the level sticks. So after that it wasn't a problem at all.
Of course, anybody is free to say anything they please. Nobody, however, is forced to believe them. Video evidence, on the other hand, is a different story.
Flawless. Really?
Funny thing about this is that we both know that there are times that Siri doesn't know the answer, (she cannot possibly). the minute YOU ask Siri to do one of these things proved by others your post is no longer correct.
Never had a problem with CarPlay in my car. Maybe a few errors here and there but so minimal I cannot recall. Could it not be the quality of the mic in the car?

if used 100 times a month, 1 time in that month is a problem. I would consider it flawless. Preception my friend.

Perception nothing. If it fails even once it is not, I repeat not, flawless. That said Siri fails more often than I think it should, (Google is better but not brilliant). These failures can happen in a quiet room.
Flawless is a perception. You could stay at a hotel call it flawless. I could stay at the same hotel and not perceive it as horrible flawless even if we had the same experience. Someone can have a flawless user experience with CarPlay and that is their perception.
I think Siri fails about 50% of the time for me. Other than that and some Apple Maps weirdness CarPlay is great.
Probably, I noticed today when driving in a lot of rain and wind that siri had a hard time understanding me. Not had the same issue before.
Perhaps Siri isn't engineered to take into account an "all weather" use. In fact a lot of lack of knowledge and experience in using a car shows up both in Carplay and AA.
We all laughed (I did) when someone said Apple wouldn't be able to figure out a phone because they are computer guys. It was particularly funny because anyone could easily understand that phones are computers.
I also thought anyone saying the same about cars would suffer the same fate. For the time being the computer guys aren't doing their magic. Or perhaps the car guys just got smarter watching music, phones,... fold to computer companies.

"Opening the platform up to third-party navigation apps like Waze and Google Maps would be a big shift for CarPlay, but the move would address one of the main complaints from users who don’t use Apple Maps."

I hope Waze and Google maps app will be updated on CarPlay.

Let's be honest, it won't happen. Apple wants people to use Apple Maps, not their competitors. Because if they do open it up for 3rd party maps, Apple Maps is done for.
If the population is normally distributed, there is no limit in population size that 70 can represent
I use BMW Connected, the onboard NAV seems to be better than Apple Maps. I would just say where I want to go, and it can quickly narrow down my choices, it just seems more intuitive. It even showed me a better route to where I get my hair cut, which I have been going to for over a year.
BMW iDrive with their nav is far better. For a seemless musical experience? CarPlay imo Siri to search any song on Apple Music!
