Any way to read SMS messages over Bluetooth in the car?

[androider12345]

Hi all,

I switched over from a Lumia 1020 about a month ago and love the G3 so far. My only complaint is that my Lumia would read texts/calls while connected to my bluetooth in the car. I have a Camaro which has one bluetooth connection for Music and another for Voice. I tried to setup tasker to read the sms outloud but it would not go through the speakers.

Are there any apps which would allow for a text to be read via bluetooth?

Thanks!

I have Tasker also set up to read texts over my car's bluetooth and it works fine, do you have the right commands on your tasks? I can share mine if you need it.

I think so, but I'm not sure. Still kinda new to tasker. If you could share, that would be awesome.

I have a Profile "BTCAR" that detects if I am connected.

I have a profile setup for "Received Text Any"
Linked the task "ReadText" which checks if BTCAR is active. If so do this:

%SMSRN sent the following SMS: %SMSRB

It could very well be that I'm not selecting the correct Stream type?

So on profiles, I've got a State (when text is received) and Event (bluetooth is connected). This is important so whenever I have either my car or bluetooth headset it would still say out loud the text.

Then I have a task called "Read out texts" which what it does is Wait 3 seconds first (somehow it doesn't lag if I put a wait command first) then same as yours Say command "New message from %SMSRN It goes %SMSRB."

My Stream is on "media" did you change yours?
