Apple CarPlay and Siri?
So at first I thought I just hit the mic button on the steering wheel and Siri would come up even connected to my iPhone but it doesn’t. It seems like I need to go into the contacts and at the top it will say to use Siri? Is that the only way, it has to be easier than that.

If CarPlay is connected, disconnect your iPhone through the mobile devices screen in iDrive. Then on your phone: Settings —> Siri —> Listen for "Hey Siri" enabled at the very top. Go back and use the "mobile devices" screen in iDrive to tap "connect" to your iPhone. Use "Hey Siri" as normal. Hey Siri should now call contacts, launch playlists in Apple Music by name, etc. The steering wheel mic button is for iDrive voice commands, even with iPhone connected to CarPlay with a short press. EDIT — Typos. EDIT 2 — I stand corrected, a long press of the steering wheel mic button does activate Siri. Thank you armoredsaint and SenorFunkyPants! Worth noting, following the procedure described above will still prevent you from even having to press the button.

In my (UK) car, a long hold on the voice button on the steering wheel brings up Siri in car play....a short press brings up the BMW voice activation.
