Siri in a 2010 Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

rustyspanner · 04-20-2014, 09:35 PM

I've got a 2010 poverty pack model, which has the bluetooth phone/streaming head unit, but no controls on the steering wheel. Does anyone know if I can initiate Siri / voice dialling without having a steering wheel 'talk button'? If not, can I tap in to the wiring harness and mount a button myself? I'm not keen on touching my phone to start Siri while driving due to the $400 fines you get for it.

I installed the Toyota Bluetooth module in my 2010. However I just use mine to answer calls

I believe that as long as your phone will accept voice commands, the bluetooth will work

Check out the bluetooth manual

LOL, poverty pack model, but comes with bt streaming. Here's the US spec poverty grade stereo:

This is the head unit in my Yaris:

The green phone button switches the head unit to phone mode, but doesn't activate voice dialing as far as I can tell, it just lets you answer or end a call. Higher spec models have a button on the steering wheel for voice dialing, which I think I would need to emulate to get it to work.

If I include pictures in my replies they don't seem to work; anyway that's a similar head unit to the Australian version, except ours is silver, and there are a couple of buttons below the display to enter and exit phone mode - but they don't activate voice commands. I'm thinking I have to replace the steering wheel with the model with the buttons in it, or make up a wiring loom and mount a button elsewhere that emulates the steering wheel buttons.

AFAIK, I don't think any 2nd gen Yaris were officially equipped with bluetooth, and steering wheel controls did not have voice commands button.
