I thought my MDX (2017 Hybrid Advance) would read my texts outloud when I received them. Now, it says I cannot read unless vehicle is stopped and in park.

 

I use my Apple Carplay in my 19 MDX hybrid for text and I've never tried Acura text feature. Looking to purchase another Acura without Carplay and would like to know what is suppose to be normal text operation for the Acura system.

 

With your Apple Car Play, Siri will read and provide audio texts and send texts. With the other system, it will advise you have a text from someone and read it out for you audio wise. You have to have your phone set properly to have this happen. I would use the Apple Carplay as it works much better.

 

i did change phones, but both were Android. I don't see why the phone would determine if texts can be read aloud in the car

 

My 2019 Tech Hybrid will read the text imessages and WhatsApp messages when the phone is connected via usb data cable.
I can also reply to them by dictating with great accuracy. Siri does get the job done.
