Car is stealing my texts!

Featured Replies

I've had a bit of a search, and have a nasty feeling the answer might be more complicated than I want to get into..................

 

Phone connects to the car (64 plate black edition) via bluetooth, and I use it for phone calls and listening to podcasts/audiobooks whilst driving. All good.

 

Until I get a text message.

 

The text shows up on the display asking if I want to read it (obviously not if I'm driving) or have it read via the text to voice system which seems to cope pretty well. The problem is the text never actually appears on my phone, which is a bit of a pain when it's the details for my son's football match at the weekend and I need to refer back to the text. I have worked out that the car is actually storing the texts, but I have to be in the car to access them.

 

Is there any way to stop it doing this? I couldn't see an option in the MFD option. I'm happy to simply not receive texts until I get out of the car.

 

Thanks in advance

I bet you use RSAP Bluetooth  mode - just change to HFP and there will be no issue.

Thanks............. how do I do that? :biggrin:

 

It's buried in the Maxidot Phone menu. You want to change from 'Premium' (rSAP) mode to Handsfree.

 

rSAP basically disconnects the SIM card from your phone and connects to a GSM tranceiver built into the car. Great for areas with bad coverage or if you pretty much live in the car, but it means all calls and texts received while in the car stay on the car rather than being synchronised back to the phone.'

Perfect- I saw that setting earlier.

 

Thanks to everyone.
