Appreciate this may have been covered already (apologies if it has) but I was bored sitting in traffic and started to play with my phone (iPhone 5 with iOS 7) and found that if you use Siri while the phone is connected to the car via Bluetooth it utilises the car microphone and speaker and it is therefore possible to ask Siri to send a message to someone , read an iMessage/SMS (reading e-mails seems to require the phone to be unlocked which is a bit less convenient) or any other function that is possible via Siri from the lock screen. You need to press and hold the button on the phone to activate it (and press again to deactivate) but from then on it is all voice commands using the car mic. Seems to address many of the features that you get with Phone Prep High.
