I have a work around which might help some people and works great for me. I don't have an iphone, so no siri, but the concept of voice assistance is probably the same for most phones.
In my case I have a blackberry (a modern one) and I noticed that after I bluetooth pair the phone and my contacts sync, the very first contact in my list is #Assistant. And its phone number is a fake phone number that the phone uses to call up voice assist over bluetooth.
Anyway, I just programmed this contact in my phonebook to one of the short cut keys on the stereo. (CIC in my case). It works great and I use it all the time. I press button #1 and I get my voice assistant.
I can only assume the iphone and android also expose their voice assistant in a similar way. It makes sense since it's a cheap work around to be able to access the voice assistant over bluetooth. It's basically a contact that dials to an internal component instead of an external phone number. An exploit of the phonebook if you will.
