Apple Car play without Siri-Possible?

I have a company iphone that has Siri disabled and it would not allow me to connect my phone to the Car.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
TIA

Nope, Siri must be enabled in order to use CarPlay. Several functions of CarPlay rely on Siri such as receiving and sending messages. I'm guessing it's disabled on your phone via corporate policies, so you are pretty much out of luck.

Here are the requirements to connect to CarPlay:

Update!, I was able to make it work.
I had to enable Siri in phone settings, but the Siri is still disabled somehow where the phone will not respond to "hey Siri".
I'm not sure how they disable that feature. I have not and do not use Siri anyway so I don't miss it. :-)
