Text Messaging

SYNC allows you to receive, send, download and delete text messages.
The system can also read incoming text messages to you so that you do
not have to take your eyes off the road.
Receiving a Text Message

downloading text messages using Bluetooth to receive incoming text
messages.

to have SYNC read the message to you.
