Official iFit -
sticker on outside, correct direction, has been there for over two years

 

Yay! Looks so pretty.

 

Hmmm... no one caught me on that little white lie.

Looking at it directly from inside the car, the image appears "correct."

Looking at it in the rear view mirror, the image still appears reversed---just as it does from behind the car.

I'm going to leave it alone... just to see if some irate Apple owner comes pounding at my door at a traffic light:


"Did you know you've got your bite
on the wrong side of the Apple?"

 

Bite on the wrong side might mean MicroSoft - the anti-Apple

 

Actually Microsoft saved Apple back in the day

Aug. 6, 1997: Apple Rescued

 

It was a joke-- Although I love my iPhone & iPad, I prefer PC over Mac.....

Cute. Although it is rather funny that Apple's first commercial really revolved around "being different" (ie 1984 theme) yet when all these different Android smartphones started coming out, that same argument turned into "fragmentation".

I like Apple hardware. I think it is pretty slick. It is their policies that I hate (collusion, off-shore bank accounts, etc). Although without competition there would be no innovation=P

 

Some simple math...

 

Cute. If this was a cost comparison, the only way that would work out is switching the numerators.

 

 

Tested iOS 8 in the car on the way home. the new 'Hey Siri' works. Enable in settings, general, Siri. Then plug in your iPhone, paired with bluetooth and say 'hey siri! Play my driving playlist!' And she does. For anyone who wants to show off, or is too lazy to press the button. 😜

Unfortunately, iTunes Radio still cuts out a lot. Sigh. Maybe Beats will work better?

 

I keep seeing people talk about Siri Eyes free is this an app? I just asked Siri what it was and she thought I meant the film Eyes Wide Shut How exactly do you use it? Can someone give me an example? Like if I want to reply to a text (still having issues with that) I am liking my 6+ but I feel like I am not using it as much I as can with the Fit. You can't just say hey Siri with bluetooth only correct? It has to be plugged in to a usb as well in the car.

 

Ok, so eyes free refers to the voice button on the wheel-I have used that before , but I don't know the extent of what I can do.

 

Here are the basics.
- make sure Bluetooth is on
- make sure Siri is On in setting, general, Siri
- add your contact card in the My Info section, helps to add your home and work addresses to that contact card
- pair your phone with the car
- press and hold the bottom button on steering wheel phone controls (voice button)
You will hear two beeps that indicate Siri is listening.
Speak to her.
Examples:
Play my Running Playlist
play songs by Jethro Tull
Call Johnny Appleseed.
Call mom
Send a text to joe brown (she'll ask what you want to say, say it. She'll repeat it to you and ask if you want to send. Say 'send it' or 'cancel'
Send an email to Molly Smith(follow her prompts, people must be in your contacts, you can't dictate an email address)
How do I get home from here?
Give me directions to a gas station.
How do I get to Disneyland?
Who won the Giants game last night?
What's the weather forecast?
And so forth.

Does not need to be plugged in to work, but will save your battery if you are.

 

Thanks so much. I played around with it for a bit. I have a better understanding of what she can do. I still cannot reply to texts-even when the car is parked. My hubby has a new CRV and he gets a list of replies and is able to select one even when driving. I still can't do this for some reason and it bugs me, but now I can use Siri to compose a text, so that helps. I have not been able to get "hey Siri" to work unless it's plugged in (charging). Hmmm.

 

Can you change the activating phrase from "Hey Siri" to something else? I have this fantasy about being able to talk to HAL:

"Hal, open the pod bay doors..."

Might make me want an iPhone.

 

Hey Siri only works if plugged in. The battery drain to have it listen to you all the time in case you said 'hey Siri' would be tremendous.

 

Do tell her that. Ask if she know Hal. Ask her to tell you a story or sing you a song. Tell her 'beam me up, Scotty'. There are tons of fun responses.
