Default Android and text message via BT

Hi all.


so I just got a new Samsung Edge 6+ phone.. When driving with my Windows Phone I always got my text messages via BT over the radio.. Now with the new phone I can't get this to work for nutin.. Before I go nuts has anyone else get this to work with Android phones? BTW I have Verizon as my cell provider if that helps..

I switched from a Windows phone to the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus at the end of last year. I have a Kenwood with Garmin NAV installed & haven't had any problems... still reads texts.

yup, loved my windows phone.. Problem is Verizon and MS are still fighting old stuff and they aren't getting the new phones... old one broke so I needed a new one fast. The edge 6+ is a great phone but Android phone OS still has a ways to go..
