While driving yesterday, my cell phone vibrated and then the navigation voice said "You have a text message. Do you want to hear it?" What the hell? So, I said "Yes". The navigation voice then read me the message and asked, "Do you want to reply?"

I said, "Yes."

It then said, "Start your message now (or something like that)".

I dictated the message. The voice asked me if I want to send it and I agreed. The message was sent.

I have a 2010 touring sport with nav. My phone is a Windows phone with the new Mango operating system update. Before the phone update the car did not do anything like this. All it did was answer and make phone calls. Clearly, there is a closer connection between the phone and the nav system. In any case this functionality blew me away. It's worth having a Windows phone just to do this. It's very cool.
