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

SeattleLion · 10-28-2011, 01:28 PM

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.

I don't even have a CD player... Nav... or bluetooth.

Both my car and my iPhone 4 suck.

Nope.

Alpine ida-x305s digital media receiver.

AM/FM, iPod/ USB and Pandora stream

That's all I got!

In all fairness, I owned my Z for 6 months and never put a CD in it. AUX + iPod FTW.

Any Windows phone will do it. I have an ATT Samsung Focus. I love it.

. SeattleLion is correct.

My HTC Arrive Windows phone has the same functionality.

So your Z turn into Siri?

leighspped · 10-28-2011, 03:19 PM

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

It does. I can have Siri work for me through the bluetooth on my Sport Touring non-NAV.
