The intelligent assistant technology from Apple can be used on ADAM models fitted with the IntelliLink infotainment system and will enable iPhone owners to give voice commands and receive a verbal response from the car itself.

Using a steering wheel-mounted button, customers with a compatible iPhone running iOS 6 can direct Siri Eyes Free to perform a number of tasks while they keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel. This includes making calls, choosing songs or even checking on the weather or football scores.

Vauxhall and Apple have also taken steps to minimise distraction, and the device screen does not display the Siri text conversation while using the feature in ADAM.

Siri is available free of charge in all new IntelliLink-equipped ADAMs while customers who already own an ADAM with IntellilLink can also benefit from Siri Eyes Free, via a free update available from next month.
