Android Doesn't Read Text Messages in Android Auto?

[Krazy Kat555]

Newbie - jumped from Apple to Android. I now have Galaxy S9 but I notice that when driving, it does not read incoming texts like Apple did. I've looked for this question, and can't find an answer that relates directly to my situation.

Galaxy S9 using Textra, have it plugged into my 2016 Civic, using Android Auto.

I get a notification that it cannot read the message while the vehicle is moving.

Is there some safety feature that is set as a default that I am missing?

Thanks!

Welcome to Android Central! It should work if you say, "Ok Google, show me my last messages." It will then ask you if you want to hear the last 5 messages, and give you an option to dictate a response.
