Hello. After a few years with Windows Phone (which I totally loved, btw), I have given up and purchased a Samsung Galaxy S6 Active (ATT). So far, I'm pretty happy with the change, but I'm struggling with using the phone in my car. I've searched this site for a tutorial on how to use Android with MyLink but didn't really find anything. If I've missed a thread on this, I apologize (but please share the link!).
I have a 2015 Chevy Equinox. My Windows Phone worked well with it. I would tap the phone button on my steering wheel and the car would say, "Please say a command." At that point, I would say "Voice" and it would connect to my phone where I could tell Cortana to text someone or call someone. When I received a text while in my car, Cortana would read it to me through the car and allow me to send a reply.
So far, it is very different with my Galaxy phone. Nothing happens when I say "Voice" now. If I say "Phone," the car will allow me to make a call using the phonebook. But there doesn't seem to be any way to initiate a text message.
My questions: How do I initiate a text message while paired with my car? Is there a special command I can use that will interact with my phone (for instance, it could activate S Voice) so that I can send texts that way?
Thanks for any help.
