I have an SMH10B which if I tapped the phone button on, I could say "Hey Siri, Call Bill" and the call would be placed through the SMH10B.
I can not figure out how to do this through the SRL. The directions are limited on placing calls:
1. last number dialed.
2. setup three speed dials.
3. via the phone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jack
I need Siri on my SRL too - that's the main reason why I bought it. And I can't successfully google the solution. Sena, please!
I can access Siri but the when she speaks it is so loud and distorted I cannot understand her. Also when using the phone the mic does not work so even if I dial on the phone no one can hear me and their voice is also distorted. I have reset, unpaired/repaired, remove from iphone then repair, you name it.
What's odd is music and Waze (both through my iPhone) comes through normal. I am so frustrated and have not heard back from Sena in almost 2 weeks about this problem. Spoke to the dealer where I bought the SRL and they say they will have to send it back to Sena which means I will probably not have it back for months (if ever). Waste of $$ on the Shoei Neo 2 and the SRL. Worst decision to get this helmet. Oh btw, Shoei could care less.
I have purchased the Neotec II helmet and rather than using my existing CARDO Sho-1, decided to go with the SRL. BIG MISTAKE.
Let me start with the bottom line: THE SENA SRL IS HORRIBLE - NOTHING LESS.
First, the mic quality is VERY BAD. People can hardly hear me, no matter if I am driving or standing or if the helmet is open or closed. They just can hardly hear me.
Voice commands can not be executed because of the mic sound quality. "hello sena" does not work 99 times out of 100. radio can not be activated. Hello Siri in non existent.
Second, when I finally manage to put some music using my phone directly rather than with voice command, the sound quality is just not good.
A week ago wrote an angry mail to sena support. and guess what - no one bothers to answer. So customer service is also problematic.
conclusion: Lots of money thrown away for nothing.
I should have stayed with my Cardo systems. Had a few of them through the years and was never disappointed.
Did Sena ever get back to anyone on this issue? I also cannot get Siri to activate.. I used the centre button for 3 secs, but it isn’t working at all. My worry is that most research I have viewed on google doesn’t have any responses from Sena, so I’m slightly worried, that an expensive comms unit is going to come with bad support.
Ive just had a live chat with Sena. Forgetting the headset on by iPhone. Then Factory reset on my SRL2. Then reboot my phone. When all back up and paired again, it seems to work. Still amazed you cant access via voice control..... mental
Voice command only functions for Sena operations not for accessing siri or google. It's always been that way with all their models that have it. Manual explains all the voice commands available. Accessing Siri is through tapping the phone button.
Yeah. For me though the button wasn’t working. Saw a few people with same problem. All sorted now. Voice command could be used to open up a call. One of the primary functions I would think. All good now. Everything it’s supposed to works now.
I'm glad you worked it out. Sena updates have always required a factory reset after. Forgotten is the phone needs to have the connection deleted from the previous version then re-paired to the updated sena unit to function properly. The old bluetooth connection sometimes works but often causes problems as what you had experienced.
Although it has already been mentioned, accessing a digital assistant on the SRL is done by holding down the Center Button for 3 seconds while in Stand-by Mode.
The upcoming 50S and 50R are the only Sena products that support the ability to access Google / Siri on your phone by using your voice.

Really? Can't you solve that with a firmware update? I have got the SRL2 and no voice support for Siri is... bad quality.
Adding the feature to access digital assistants "Hey Siri" and "Hey Google" cannot be added to the SRL / SRL2 through a firmware update as it requires new hardware.
Just purchased my Sena SRL2 today. The dealer installed the recent firmware before I left the shop with my new integrated SRL2 and my new Shoei helmet.
At first I could not get Siri to work and when I made a phone call the voice in my ears were so loud I was blown away. Then I made a factory reset and the loud voice issue was solved. And Siri is now working.
Only thing is that I need to switch of the FM radio if I am using that function. If I am listening to Spotify or Tune In radio from my iPhone Siri is working.
I need to push the center button on my helmet for 3 seconds or until I hear a second beep. Then I can SMS, navigate with Maps and all the other nice things Siri would do for you.
I like it :-)
This weekend will I go for a ride to see how it is working with gloves on and windnoise at higher speed.
Sena Marketing have you got any insights into when the hardware to deliver the solution everyone is looking for here will be released? Is there a SRL3 in the works?
Daragh McGrath Unfortunately, we do not have any new versions of the SRL that would include the feature of activating Siri / Google through your voice to announce here at this time. Please stay tuned to our website for any new product releases.
