how can you receive messages?
when I press the button and tell my car to text someone it gets confused. I have to say "hey siri, etc..." and text through my phone instead even though it goes through the crappy speaker system and never translates my voice to text correctly.
i'd like to know how to receive them and have them read it back to me or display it on screen though
Do you know if within a text message you can just click the mic icon and use the voice to text function. I'm thinking about buying a CX-5 want to make sure I can do this until CarPlay is available.
The mic icon on the phone? Of course you can. This has nothing to do with the car.
But you cannot use the voice activation on the steering wheel to send texts though. Which sucks.
Assuming your car is already connected to your phone's bluethooth:
Go into your phone's bluetooth settings. Look for the connection for your car. Hit the 'i'. Turn on 'Show Notifications'.
I have a 2017 CX-5 GT and I always have my IPhone 6S plugged in and I never get a text message indicator on the head unit. FYI.
Have you tried what Carfo has stated above (uhm)
it worked for me, clownshoes2. you just need to enable notifications on your phone settings first. it doesn't need to be plugged in, works over BT.
