I’ve now begun using Apple CarPlay to access the SiriusXM app on my iPhone instead of bothering with the integrated SiriusXM radio. The only drawback is I haven’t figured out how to control the SiriusXM app by voice. The car audio system can be commanded to “Tune to First Wave” or “tune to CNBC”. Right now, I have to take my eyes off the road and fiddle with the screen to change SiriusXM

Do Siri request not work or do you not know how to access Siri when driving?

I do know how to use Siri while driving and Siri requests work correctly. My question was specifically about Siri and the SiriusXM app in CarPlay. When you are in CarPlay, is there a way to ask Siri to play a specific SiriusXM station in the SiriusXM app?

I tried to do it just using my phone and it doeset work. I think Siri can only open apps Not tune to a station. Why not use the sirusXM that comes with the car? Just say Hey Ford turn to “station” works great.

You can’t tune to SiriusXM Xtra stations using the SiriusXM radio. Frankly, that’s my only use case for Apple CarPlay and the iOS SiriusXM app (which, for CarPlay, is a complete train wreck).

The XM radio has more channels then my Prev cars radio. I never use my XM app really maybe at home a few times. It has too many channels now dont need xtra ones.. The car XM has the 700 channels that my Prev car didnt have.

Some of the stations in the app aren't available in vehicles, and some of them are quite good.
