    Does anyone know how to turn this feature off? When I get a text it notifies me but I can’t read it while driving and it doesn’t go away until I hit ignore.

    I think you can go to settings>phone>message settings> uncheck the messaging options. I don’t know if the car remembers this each time you restart the car. Hope this helps.

    What I find most annoying is it loads up message list after I am done with the current message...

    Pressing read will have it read out loud (I have an iPhone. It might work differently with an Android).

    Alternatively, you can set it to “drop down” so it only has a drop down notification that disappears automatically. Or turn it off all together.
