You need to push and hold the normal voice comand button until Siri comes up on the screen and say the comand messages or emails etc

Forgot to say you can dictate txt email etc as well

Am I doing something wrong...when I try to use Siri through the car, it always just tries to call a number?

Oh what a proper tool I am...Siri was disabled.

I deserve a ban for being so thick.
