Texting
I was assuming that the 3LT package included the ability to send and receive texts. I have the SMS icon. Is there a special way or setting that must be performed? How do I tell if I have the feature?

Connect your mobile phone via Bluetooth.

Did you pair your phone with the car? Sometimes you need to tell the phone to export your contact list in order for SMS to work)
(yes, you have texting - even Text-to-speech)

Once you have the SMS texting configured, then you can have the incoming texts read to you and you can dictate outgoing text messages using voice commands

Thanks. I have not tried the text feature on my car yet - will have to give it a go.

Never enabled this feature because I don’t want or need to bother with texts while driving.

Thats a feature I don't care for at all. Can turn into a big problem when a passenger gets in the car and all of a sudden a text message comes through the speakers that doesn't need to. lol. I use apple carplay instead and it's a little more forgiving. Still pull the plug on that sometimes too.

If your vette is a 2016 or above, it should be equipped with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Simply plug in your phone to the USB port and you should be good to go. The music sound quality is also much better when plugged in vs using bluetooth without CarPlay or Android Auto.

Post refers to the fact that if your texts are announced over the sound system and your passenger hears what might be personal information. For example, a girlfriend gets into your car and a text comes through from another girl where she announces she is pregnant and she thinks it may be "your baby". That could be a sticky situation even if it's a joke.

You don't hear message unless you click the listen prompt.
