Hi there, lookandsee!
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I see from your post the you'd like to set up CarPlay, but are running into some trouble. Specifically, I'm understanding that your car prompts you to enable Siri on your iPhone, even though when you check Settings > Siri, she is enabled. I'm happy to help!
From what you've said, I would recommend using the following steps from the "Get help" section of Set up CarPlay with your iPhone - Apple Support :
Since you've already checked that Siri is enabled, I would actually suggest instead of doing that in step 1 that you turn Siri off, and then back on, and see if that helps. Otherwise, proceed with the remaining steps above.
Have a wonderful day!

If CarPlay doesn't work like you expect, here’s what you can check. After each step, try using CarPlay again.
- Make sure that Siri is turned on.
- Restart your iPhone and your car. Depending on your car, you might see the CarPlay Home screen when you turn it on. If you don't, look for the CarPlay logo on your car’s display.
- If possible, connect your iPhone to a different USB port in your car.
- Try a different Lightning to USB cable. Make sure that the cable is certified.
- Update to the latest version of iOS.
- Check your car’s manual for help. You might need to install firmware updates for your stereo.
