I moved to the Moto X from a Nokia 820 (Windows Phone 8). One of the few things the Nokia 820 did that I liked was it offered to read incoming SMS to me over Bluetooth whenever I was connected in the car (2011 Toyota Highlander). I don't think it was a configurable option, it just did it from the first time I paired it. It was great.... the phone stayed in my pocket but an incoming SMS would trigger the handsfree and offer to read it. The system even offered to let me call the sender back (via voice phone) or reply with a canned SMS if I wanted. All hands free.
I see that Assist can read SMS to me, but that requires GPS and I need to leave location services on. I don't usually use GPS and don't want to sacrifice battery drain for this feature.
Does anyone know if there is a way to have the phone sense that BT is connected and read SMS over BT automatically without using location services?
TIA,
Paul
