Can you receive text messages on the Fpace ? Meaning when you get a text message from someone does it pop up on the screen or do you get a notification on the screen and are able to read them ? My MB did this and I thought I saw sonewhere that the F Pace did too .

Worked with an Android but not an iPhone.

Had an lg g4 and it didn't work , so I went out and got the Samsung s7 edge and it's still not working. What android did it work on for you?

I believe it also depends on what version of InControl Touch you have. The regular (non-tech pack) version with the fixed buttons DOES include text messaging capabilities, but all documentation for the 10.2" touch screen interface the comes with InControl Touch Pro indicates that is does not come with it. I'd love to be proven wrong on this one...

I also hope you are wrong because I have the tech package. It would be weird to me if this is the case.

I guess I should have stated that I have the tech package ( 10.2 inch screen ) in my original post.

If it's any help, the second my wife paired her phone with our stock ICT system she got a text in our car. She has a Samsung Galaxy S5. I haven't yet, but sure it will work on my Samsung Note 4. I can do this with my new Dodge cargo van too, so it must not be too tech crazy.

What's weird in my Dodge is when you hit "listen" the voice reads back as female. So when my testosterone crazed friends text me and it comes through with a female voice my head just spins counterclockwise

Its very simple to do on iPhone 4, 5 and 6. To turn the text feature on first connect your device via bluetooth to your car's compatible multimedia centre as you would do normally to make hands free calls. Then on your iphone go to your bluetooth settings,select the connection for your car, click the blue circle exclamation point and the select "Show Notification" by toggling it on. Very simple! Not sure why all the convoluted answers in this forum! Hope this helps! Sorry don't know anything about other manufactures, but could be the same.

Integrated text-to-voice technology reduces distraction by reading out incoming text messages. You can easily respond with short, prepared messages.

The preceding "bullet point" was included in the online F Pace brochure section on In Touch Control.

Thanks for the tip. Just got the wife's FPace home. Been doing this in my BMW for years, so this shouldn't be any big deal these days.

Once mine get here I will try it. It's been sitting in the port now for 2 1/2 weeks.

I have an iPhone 6s and am running iOS 9.3.2. I don't have the "Show Notification" toggle in my bluetooth settings. Do you know if Apple moved (ore removed) it in a new software release.

 

[mo2v8me]

I don't have that toggle or option either. I also have the newest software. Never saw anything like that toggle and I'm pretty iPhone savvy. Also, I can't get messages on my screen either.

I don't think I want to my text messages showing on screen. Would be great if you could set it to auto disable that feature everytime it sensed somebody sitting in the passenger seat.

Do you have ICT or ICTP? If ICTP, I am pretty sure it isn't available.

ictp

ictp

Yup ICTP doesn't support Text Messaging. Only ICTP does, at least according to the manuals for the two.
