However, the iPhone does have Siri. When you are done with Siri, press and hold the Phone icon on your steering wheel to close her out. The message protocol that worked well with the HTC Radar, is the same, but your phone has changed.
How to Send & Receive Text Messages on your Mac - Macworld UK
In fact, Samsung reliability in this area is all over the map. Yes, thanks, I completely removed the HTC. This phone stops the music but I have to actively scroll to that particular text in a numbered list and get it to read it aloud. I am having exactly the same issue. I just upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S8. My boyfriend has a Samsung flip phone and his works just fine. I discovered that if I do not have my radio on I will get an audible alert for Text Messages. The phone alerts work with the radio on, but not Text Message alerts.
Good to know… what iPhone and iOS are you using? Do you have the MyFord Touch system? It only receives messages, notifies me and reads them. However, I am unable to reply or send text message. I have tried and it fails to send. It allows me to compose message but fails to send. Have you tried to send and receive messages via Siri? I does work with Siri sending and receiving text.
Sending text messages using my last device iPhone 5 also failed when using MyTouch. Again, it allowed me to send or reply to text messages but once I pressed SEND, system would pause for a couple seconds and then return error message indicating that message failed to send. Notifies me when a text comes in and can read the text. Will not send text fails with Samsung S4. Problem is not unique to iPhone.
I have asked a few friend with late model Fords with MyTouch. However, I think that the RAZR operating system has been updated to the point that it no longer supports the old messaging capability. Have you tried to speak to someone at the Ford Customer Service hotline? Since iPhone has never met the messaging access protocol MAP standards set by Microsoft for the Sync system especially on Sync models such as the basic systems.. My phone is an iPhone 5s, with the 8.
The phone is paired to the car, and the car easily receives the text alert, and the read back is good. But every time I try to reply, I get a failure message. Does anyone have a solution that does not entail Siri I just want to use the canned sync replies? I would consider yourself lucky to actually get the system to read you back texts.
The Sync system allows the text messaging with most Android smartphones… Otherwise, pushing the Home button on the front lower screen of the Apple phone iPhone 4S and newer will summon Siri. I appreciate the time you took to respond. I will play with the Siri option and see how that goes.
So Sync will still receive, display if not moving and read-back the incoming message, and using Siri via the iPhone will allow me to send a message, and Siri does come through the car stereo with no problem, and appears to be using the Sync microphone, but I only assume that because I do not know how sensitive the iPhone microphone is…. On another issue, Vince: Is it possible to remove the speed restrictions?
How to back up and transfer text messages to a new iPhone
I hate this Nanny attitude that prevents an address from being input into the navigation system, even though there is a passenger sitting on the seat and the car knows this based upon the airbag light. That's because it supports A2DP audio streaming. When paired with an A2DP capable device, all audio output is routed over bluetooth.
Feb 20, 5: Text messaging with Ford Sync More Less. User profile for user: Apple Watch Speciality level out of ten: Both the Ford and iPhone software have the latest updates. The Sync, which is a MS product, has a messaging feature, where the car's system can send service warnings and status messages to a paired phone through text messaging or e-mail. When I attempt to turn this feature on, the system reports that the connected phone is not capable of connecting this way.
Is this just a Microsoft doesn't want to play nice with iPhone issue or is there some setting or other option that I am missing?

Part 2. Sync iPhone to Ford sync
Would hate to have to give up my Iphone to have this feature work with sync. You just need to set up your Mac so it can send messages via your iPhone. Now when you add your friend's non-iPhone mobile number it will gain a green box to indicate that you are sending a text message. Your friend will receive a standard text message, which will have been routed via your iPhone, so it will be allocated towards your text message allowance according to your mobile phone contract. The best thing is that the text message conversation won't be restricted to your Mac:
