Navigation type , for readind text messages .


Recommended Posts

Hi all , 

Hope someone can help with this ! . My 300hAdvance MY17 has the standard nav which upon receiving a text highlights a button saying "Read" , you can phsically read it but the system does not read it out loud. Is this a feature only on the premium nav or should the standard nav read out as well, i dont want to change my phone if the car system does not support this , my current phone is an LGC4 , any advise would welcome 

Cheers Steve

I have the premium nav and in the settings there is a option to read message.
I turned mine off after a while as it irritated me

I presume std nav to be the same, menu>>setup>>telephone>>message settings>> automatic message readout- set this to on

Thanks for the reply, just checked the menu and the standard nav says " automatic message transfer " not readout as your premium system does. Hope its just my phone , have to ask when i take the car in for service.

Thanks

I have the standard nav and although it displays text messages on the screen for me to read I have never worked out how to have the car read them out - if you find out I would be interested to know.

Hi wharfhouse, im going to ask at my local dealership , im begining to think that only the premium nav can read aloud text messages . I will let you know as soon as i find out .

Just got off the phone to dealer service department ,  they recon its premium nav only but he,s not 100% sure so they will look at the settings for me . 

So unless someone with a standard nav can confirm otherwise ? It looks like a no go .

Thanks for the update - makes sense I guess. At least they are readable on the screen when they pop up though.

Have you checked whether it may be just a matter of turning the volume up? - Since the volume is independent  for each audio source, it could be that it needs adjusting for SMS messages also... Worth checking...
