Any Techies know if there are Bluetooth settings on the vehicle to allow for texting via speech. Somebody mentioned it was available. Plus if a text comes in you would be able to see it/ hear it via the cars speech system and or DIC.

I think Talon90 said yes with Iphone, maybe not with Android. There is a link to 1.5 hour presentation by Talon90 that talks about it somewhere on here

If you don't get a direct answer here, try watching talon90's video on the Infotainment System. It's 90 mins, should cover everything. I haven't watched it all yet.

The MyLink Owner's Manual for the Stingray isn't available yet and the manual for others doesn't address this question.

Worst case scenario there will be an app available that will allow you to do it via Bluetooth and voice commands. GM focused on IPhone integration so us Android people have to be a little more creative.

I really don't want to hijack this thread, but I would seriously like to see a particular app written for MyLink.

I love the Valentine One radar detector. I have exclusively used this radar detector for many years and it is saved my butt many times.

Valentine now has a Bluetooth accessory for their radar detector which can transmit a lot of bogey information to their app written exclusively for the iPhone, iPad and Android.

Wouldn't it be nice if that app were adapted for MyLink, similar to Pandora, making the information show up on your nav screen? Seriously, go on to the Valentine One website and look at that this app. It really is very cool...I have it.

A combination of the Blendmount mirror mount for the detector and this app streaming information to the navigation screen would be awesome.
