turbo06 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Will the z show text messages on the screen like the kenwood 9140? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nerds 2 You Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 and very few phones will support that feature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo06 Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 I have the iphone 3g. My buddy has the 3gs and his works on the kenwood. Just wondering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Thats news to me. There was no support mentioned in any of the iphone firmware releases in reference to SMS support with external devices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doctor K Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I had an older Garmin (external) and it supported sending and reading (yes, it would transcribe your text message into voice). I didn't matter what kind of phone I had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j3adseed Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Yeah this lacking functionality is a serious oversight by pioneer i think. i hope either a software update or a hack will fix this someday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisj Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Yeah this lacking functionality is a serious oversight by pioneer i think. Depends on who the text is from and who is in the car with you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo06 Posted November 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hey I just read the x910 manual on page 80 it says, Announcing incoming short mails While the cellular phone and the navigation system are connected, the following notice is displayed when you get a new SMS message. “New mail from: (sender’s name)” is displayed and the notice disappears after eight seconds. What the crap that is nowhere in our manual. Pioneer flagship navigation yeah right! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 My F-series used to do that (same as the X-series.) In still didn't read the text to me....it just told me it got there. Pretty useless. Wish the Z would actually read me the whole message but apparently thats still not possible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
