B1405 and ARC B264 - Siri voice control in CarPlay

ARC B264 on iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 17.4.1
Wireless CarPlay on Pioneer DMH-Z6350BT

Thanks Roon for this welcome addition to CarPlay :grinning:

On first use I had an issue getting Siri to play any music but it was user error so I am posting this for others to learn from my mistake.

Firstly I said “Hey Siri play Interplay by Ride in Roon ARC”, Siri immediately asked for permission to access Roon ARC to which I said “Yes”, then she said “sorry there is a problem with Roon ARC”.

I tried several times saying the same thing and always there was a problem with Roon ARC, finally I just said “Hey Siri play Interplay by Ride” and it worked without issue.

I also really like easier access to recently played but I think I would prefer this above recently added as I usually get in the car and carry on listening to what I was listening to in the house, if it was above recently played then I would not have to scroll down slightly to access recently played. Its a very minor issue but would save a very small amount of time when setting off on a journey.
