All IS models gain the in-demand Siri Eyes Free mode. Compatible with the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 models forward, Siri responds to verbal requests to play music from iTunes, get turn-by-turn navigation, and more. Siri helps you keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel by reading notifications and calendar information.
