Not sure if I worded this correctly, but when using Siri in the past it usually defaults to wherever my music is playing; which is my BT setup to my aux input on the back of my factory stereo. The problem with this is I have a convertible and the mic setup is pretty marginal at best. There's usually too much background noise for Siri to understand me. But if I disconnect the audio from the BT, Siri uses the built in noise cancelling on the iPhone and understands me much better.

So today I click on Siri while driving and notice the audio selection button. I think, cool...this is more convenient. So I go ahead and use Siri on the iPhone as I drive thinking that when I'm done I'll have to manually switch music playback to the BT setup when I'm done. But to my surprise, once I finish with Siri music picks back up over my car's BT?!?!

I guess this is an iOS 6 feature? Anybody else notice this? If someone tells me it was there before and I just didn't notice it I might have to do something crazy. :p At the very least, my luck will be that this subject has been discussed to death and I've missed it somehow. Hahaha.... Either way, I'm a happy camper as Siri just got 10x more useful to me.
