after searching here high and low (cause' I read it in the features list of a Kenwood 7140), I looked here for SMS capable Pioneer decks.

didn't find anything.

did I miss it somewhere, or is SMS not possible on X920's and Z120's? (sending, receiving or both)

In a word no! However, I did do a survey for pioneer uk and one question asked if I would like this feature so they may be considering it, although I'm sure vblue said it also depends alot on the phone you have also

I doesn't matter because it will depend on the phone to support it and almost no phones support that feature. It is my opinion this feature will soon disappear from the relatively few phones that do support it.

so is there a way to receive any kind of text messages with the Pioneer decks?

No.

No.

thanks. I imagine there is with certain Kenwoods?

Like I said, Kenwoods support the feature but most phones don't.

am I getting the terms wrong? I though all cell phones were capable of sending text messages - but that's not SMS? Then do Pioneers and Kenwoods accept or send regular text messages while connected bia bluetooth?

SMS notification over BT is not supported on most phones.

You should drive while driving....

I would recommend using BT/VR for talking to people.... NOT texting...

You should drive while driving....

lol - so true. On the other hand, responsible people can text while parked - isn't that the second amendment?

it should have a feature like the Microsoft Sync that "READS" the txt messages outloud to you

It wouldn't matter if it did if most phones don't support it.
