My experiences with the texting over Bluetooth in the car using two Android devices have been sadly lacking to say the least. Maybe it is the age of the vehicles (2011 and 2013) and the fact the UCONNECT systems aren't as feature rich as in new vehicles? Neither the G4 or the Priv operate as...

Can you initiate the text message function with Agent? With Cortana, you can send a text, set a reminder, look up information, and add a calendar entry over Bluetooth in the car. Haven't found anything in Google Play that is that adept over the car BT.

Well to add another thought on this thread - on a recent weekend trip (+ 2 hours both ways) I used the L1520 and the Galaxy S4 over Bluetooth in a 2013 Dodge Avenger to deal with some work stuff on both ends of the trip. On the way up with the Galaxy, text messages got read OK with the...

Hopefully this will launch in November when my contract is up. Hub is a big selling feature for me - that is huge plus for the BB phones. I will be interested to see how well it works in an Android environment.
