My Z Did Something Magic: It let me text message hands free

SeattleLion

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.

Siri works great on my s5. The Z doesn't have Bluetooth but I thing it would work the same.

My Samsung Vibrant has this function that works through bluetooth. It is a car mode, and it reads incoming text to you through bluetooth and you can say and send your own text message by voice. I never use it though, my car is generally too loud for the sensitive microphone to cleanly pick up my voice haha. Damn you FI exhaust and HFCs!

I don't even use the phone blue tooth option thing in my car. I'm not sure if its my phone or not but the signal is HORRIBLE whenever I use the car's blue tooth

Boring. Make a thread when your Z gives you a handy, that will be something worth getting the Touring for.

Hahahahahahaaaaaa

Well my Z told me to pick up my clothes at the cleaners yesterday. Oh no wait? That was my wife in the passenger seat. Lol. My Z is my alone time or time with my wife. I ain't tryin to talk or message on phones. But I rather people use these types of features than do the idiotic things they do on the road while manually texting and driving.
