Holden Barina CDX
Holden has today confirmed that the Barina CDX is the first car in Australia to offer full Siri Eyes Free Integration.
Operating via the Barina CDX Holden MyLink infotainment system, customers with a compatible iPhone* running iOS 6 can direct Siri to perform a number of tasks while they safely keep their eyes on the road and their hands on the wheel.
Eyes Free integration keeps the device’s screen from lighting up, ensuring drivers are not tempted to look at their phone screen. Owners simply connect their iPhone to the MyLink radio via Bluetooth, pair the phone with the system, and use the steering wheel voice activation button to begin and end sessions with Siri in Eyes Free mode.
Holden Barina CDX owners can use Siri in Eyes Free mode to make voice-activated, hands-free calls to contacts on their iPhone, listen to, and compose and send an iMessage or text message to a phone number or anyone in saved Contacts and access the calendar to add appointments, among other things.
Initially launched with the Stitcher embedded app, additional functionality is now available on the Barina CDX MyLink system. This includes embedded apps for full compatibility for Pandora internet radio, BringGo navigation and TuneIn radio.
