Bluetooth with iPhone

One thing I did not check during a demo was the Bluetooth. Since I’ve not seen any complaints this is probably good news. So...is it clear sounding to both parties?

It works flawlessly. I was amazed at how good it sounded to me while driving, and all the people I’ve spoken to on the Bluetooth speaker phone said it sounds very clear.

My iPhone works great with the car, as does the voice recognition with regard to "Dial Fred Flintstone", then the car says "Which number would you like to dial, Mobile or Home?"

Very nice.

PS - However, the text messages still do not work with an iPhone for some reason.....................

Just for comparison, my Samsung S8+ works fantastic and just like oblio said, it does ask you after you say a name whether you would like mobile or home. You can also say "Fred Flinstone Mobile" and it will dial the mobile option.

I'm friends with him because he always brings crazy racks of ribs and bronto burgers over when we BBQ...

Can you ask him to do something about his brakes? They really stink up the place.

Meto, does the messaging feature work with Android? I have an iPhone and it doesn't work for me, but it does work in the our 2016 MDX which seems odd.

I have an iPhone 7. Messaging does work but with a few quirks. First, when a message arrives, there is only a visual confirmation on the right screen. There is no audible confirmation. Second, when the message comes in, you select it to play and it will read the message but, for some reason I can’t respond. My HUD even gives me a few options to respond yet won’t let me respond. An error message comes up saying phone features may not be supported.

Yes, they work on Android, but it reads the ENTIRE MESSAGE including the long information concerning who it is from and at what address before getting to the message itself.. Something that is really annoying that is fixed in Android Auto and works perfectly
