Have eventually found out from Skoda that it can't. However, have found an amazing app on Google Play called Out Loud which does. Paid version will do WhatsApp etc as well.

Please can someone tell me whether the Swing+ infotainment unit can read out text messages via Bluetooth? Thanks

Thanks pab567, when I found the cut out in the glove box I thought it might be possible, but looks like I'm stuck. Just seems a very retrograde thing for skoda to do. The bolero notified me when a text arrived and read them out aloud, the swing won't do any of that.

Please can someone tell me if the two units are interchangeable? I used to have a 2017 Fabia which had a Bolero, I now have a 2020 Fabia which has a Swing+. The Bolero was ,in my mind, far superior and I am wondering if I can replace the Swing with a Bolero. There is a push out in the glove box, so I'm thinking it might be possible depending on what's behind the screen.

Fabia Colour Edition 2020 Swing+ Have asked this before, but wondered if anyone had any new ideas. Have connected my phone, Samsung galaxy s20+, via Bluetooth. I get no notifications that I have received a text, but main problem is when I try to listen to messages it reads the sender but not the message, I'll say "read text from Carol" and says "text message from Carol" and then stops. Thanks Ian

Fabia Colour Edition 2020 Swing+ I have asked this before but am still having problems. Just wondering if anyone has found a solution yet. Have connected my phone, Samsung galaxy s20+, via Bluetooth. I get no notifications that I have received a text, but main problem is when I try to listen to messages it reads the sender but not the message or reads first couple of words then stops. Had no problems with previous car which had Bolero unit. Thanks Ian

Thanks, but prefer to not have wires. Previous car was 2017 with bolero unit and had no problems at all. This seems like a backwards step. Also used to be able to import favourites images, now just a grey outline and a name.

Thanks AG, Me being stupid, hadn't switched on the voice assistant on phone.

2020 Fabia Colour Edition Swing + Hi, I don't know if the two are connected, I have just bought a new mobile (Samsung S20+) and the voice control button on the steering wheel has stopped working. Is there a setting I need to adjust? Thanks Ian
