SMS Text Message Function

Incoming text on a paired phone triggers an alert on the Audio/Information Screen or, on vehicles so equipped, the navigation screen.27

  • Audio system controls let you choose to have the message read aloud and, for most phones, reply with six factory preset messages:
    • Talk to you later, I’m driving.
    • I’m on my way.
    • I’m running late.
    • OK.
    • Yes.
    • No.
  • Selecting “Call” automatically calls the person who sent the text.
  • The system works with SMS-capable cell phones with an active data plan and the Message Access Profile (MAP), such as BlackBerry®, Droid X and others.
  • The text messaging function is enabled when a compatible phone is paired with the Bluetooth®9 HandsFreeLink® system.
