Reading Text and replying

it there a way for the car to read your incoming text messages to you and then can you reply? Friends say that there car can, non-toyota

 

Thank you, I saw another threat to this just after I posted and figured out the settings I needed change I will test it out tomorrow on sending a text

 

Just to pass on, when holding down the phone unhook button, not just pushing it but pushing it and holding it in, it it initiates Siri and from there you can say give so-and-so a phone call on their mobile or you can say text message so-and-so.

When you receive a text message it can read it to you, the car that is additionally when stopped at a stoplight it will display what it believes was the text translation.

You will see in the phone dialog box on the big screen an envelope on the far right that is your messages.

 

No and does it get it WAAYYYY wrong, YES. I had install the carplay on my 2010 just 4 months ago before getting my Prius Prime Advanced. The carplay before sending it would read it back to you and many times I would just cancel it becouse it would get it so so wrong and just wait till I can type it in.

With holding down the call botton on the Steering will, it activates Siri and you can send a text message that way I did it yesterday I'm just not remembering right now if it reads it back to you. I thought it did before sending. The car noise cancellation and microphone seems to be much much better than my previous car play and 2010 Prius so it gets it much better at least from what I could tell but then again it was a short text message I had sent.

 

Yes texting and driving not good.
