Is it possible to disable siri from using my bluetooth? My car radio automatically switches to bluetooth audio every time I use siri and it is quite annoying. For one, I do not always want whatever im listening to interrupted by siri. And also, my pioneer bluetooth microphone does not have good sound quality and siri rarely gets anything right when I use it.
Got a tip for us?

Disable bluetooth on siri?

+1 all the way. We're probably gonna have to wait for a jailbreak solution though.
Yep, I have the same problem. It sucks. I'd love to be able to turn off Bluetooth for Siri while keeping it for phone calls. But as with most Apple things the options are limited, why don't they like giving us many settings? I find that when I'm on Bluetooth with Siri it doesn't understand me anywhere near as well as when I'm using the phone mic.
Not only this, but some bluetooth devices cause Siri to freeze for 5-10 seconds on startup (the first time you hold the home button down siri will pop up but will not start listening for your voice for 5-10 seconds). So far I know the Panasonic KX-TH1211/2 and Jabra Freeway cause this problem. If you turn Bluetooth off, or otherwise disconnect the devices, Siri will begin working immediately on startup. I don't see why a bluetooth device's connection to the iphone would affect Siri like this, but it does.
Man same here.
I love Siri but she's all but useless in my car.
BT keeps turning on and she gets everything wrong now

ditto - i have the alpine bluetooth adapter and mine does the exact same thing ... huge pause on startup of siri and never understands what the heck i say. very annoying ... makes it not useful for the most useful 'siri' part of my day (in my vehicle)
This is exactly what I'm looking for as well - especially now that my watch needs Bluetooth. When I disabled and reenabled it for Siri use in the car, my watch stopped working - I had to resync it to reset and good lord, I don't want to do this every time.

When you start the car and the phone connects to it's Bluetooth start a Siri conversation and when the Siri screen shows tap the lower right corner and tap the Bluetooth button. Select Phone when the options pop up and Siri will use the phone for interaction at that point.
The only thing I don't like about this is you have to do it every time it connects to the car and doesn't seem to take affect right away when I do it.
Hope this helps!
Would this solution work for when Siri is not recognizing voice? I have a 2015 Mini Cooperr, which is connected to bluetooth for phone calls etc, however for audio I need to connect to the USB port. Siri will seemingly work right when the car is started however after that when saying Hey Siri, Siri will activate but does not "hear" what you are saying. I was hoping that there would eventually be an update to the OS that would allow this to just work but, OS9 did not seem to do it nor did the new 6S.
Any thoughts?
