Handsfree Siri
Finally, I have Siri available to me without having to push a button on the iPhone 5C,
With the latest IOS 8.0 release, I activated the "Hey Siri" feature (Settings - General - Siri) and I plug in the phone to a USB charger in the center console.
Having the phone paired to the car, I now simply have to say "Hey Siri" so the phone hears me and the audio mutes and I hear the normal Siri beep and I can issues Siri-capable commands, hearing her reply over the car speakers.
No need to get Apple Car Play (which MB won't back-install into the 2014's) anyway...
Neat technology, right?

Great tip thanks
I found so much more functionality when the phone is plugged into the Benz cable (with lightening convertor)

Just tried this using the Lightning cable and it works great! I used it to search for music (out of 5,500 tracks), make a call, and also searched for a business and then executed a call based in the search results. This was all done without ever looking at te screen. Thanks for the tips guys!

if the phone's locked I can "HEY SIRI" all I want but she ain't listening...
btw is there really a difference between normal USB & lighting? as far as I know
all "information" is passed via Bluetooth..
