How to dismiss Siri without touching your phone?

[Dave2084]

I do a lot of driving while working and I'm finding Siri really useful.

Let say I'm driving and using a satnav app for directions. If I want to change my music I can press the button on me Bluetooth kit to call Siri, ask him to play whatever I want, but then I'm stuck as I have to reach over to my phone to quit Siri to see the map again.

Is there a command I can tell Siri so he'll go away?

On my car I can press the steering wheel end call button to "hang up" on Siri...the problem tho, is since my car has its own voice commands I don't have a method to activate other than holding the iPhone home button...which is kind of annoying.

SIRI does not open apps right now. Maybe in the future.

Not the Answer but Helpful

Found an answer ...

In the end I found the answer myself ...

I was stuck in traffic the other day and started "playing" with Siri. I ended up working out that when Siri was at idle, if I press the button my my BT kit and I get the bleep that tells me he's listening then press the button again it dismisses Siri and I go back to navigation without touching my phone.

Result!

I also found a bug in iOS 5 that lock me out of my phone in portrait mode if you make a call using BT but hang up before it is connected (it doesn't always do it but I did it twice in 5 mins). The only way to get the phone back is to rotate it to portrait mode.

Say 'goodbye'.

While it doesn't sound right, you can say "Bye" or "Goodbye" to Siri and he/she will reply with "See you soon.." (or similar) and close out of the Siri interface - taking you back to the last app you had open.
