How do you get texts to show up? Any answers
Just what EVERYONE needs to be doing while driving...reading.hi
I receive new incoming SMS/imessages just fine with my iphone6 and MZD connect in my CX-3. You need to make sure that in the "communication" menu under "settings" that SMS notifications is set to "ON"
You will not be able to import all SMS from your phone, but new incoming SMS's while connected can be seen and read up for you.
Needless to say, as a driver you need to focus on the road. The "radio" or system reads out loud for you.Just what EVERYONE needs to be doing while driving...reading.![]()
I won't be surprised if they try to push this stuff on a HUD system since I can see things going that direction, many ways for them to justify it.Needless to say, as a driver you need to focus on the road. The "radio" or system reads out loud for you.

I spend every June in Florida and it concerns me greatly that there is such a lax attitude to using a cell phone while driving. It is so commonplace to see people either on their phone or holding it up texting. There is no need in this little car for any of that dangerous nonsense. You can use the voice command to make calls and the SMS function to have texts read out. it might not be perfect but it's a lot better than the frightening situation you have now.
I agree that the bloody phones should be kept switched off while driving but until you get legislation to get it under control, it does represent a step in the right direction. IMHO.
I agree but you would need a lot of cops and there would be one lane continuously blocked in Orlando as literally every other car has somebody texting or yakking on the phone. How did they manage 10 years ago?It's up to the police to drag texting drivers off the road. They don't seem to do so much.
Just to add to this, on my iPhone under the bluetooth settings for the Mazda pairing, I had tot enable "show notifications" for those messages to start arriving on the car.hi

The Australian regs are almost identical. Perhaps we based ours on those of the home country.This is cut and paste from the UK Government website (£1 = approx $1.5);
Using mobile phones when driving: the law
It’s illegal to ride a motorcycle or drive using hand-held phones or similar devices.
The rules are the same if you’re stopped at traffic lights or queuing in traffic.
It’s also illegal to use a hand-held phone or similar device when supervising a learner driver or rider.
Penalties for using your phone while driving
You can get an automatic fixed penalty notice if you’re caught using a hand-held phone while driving or riding. You’ll get 3 penalty points on your licence and a fine of £100.
Your case could also go to court and you could be disqualified from driving or riding and get a maximum fine of £1,000. Drivers of buses or goods vehicles could get a maximum fine of £2,500.
New drivers
You’ll lose your licence if you get 6 or more penalty points within 2 years of passing your test.
When you can use a phone in your vehicle
If you’re the driver, you can only use your phone in a vehicle if you:
need to call 999 or 112 in an emergency and it’s unsafe or impractical to stop
are safely parked
Using hands-free devices when driving
You can use hands-free phones, sat navs and 2-way radios when you’re driving or riding. But if the police think you’re distracted and not in control of your vehicle you could still get stopped and penalised.
I have a Lumia 950 and I've had differing experiences with texting. I went to the dealer yesterday to get my software updated (don't have the version number handy). Before the update, all my incoming texts were handled by Cortana, which was nice because she'd read the text and I could voice-reply to them. After the update, the texts are now handled by the cx-3 instead, with it displaying the text on the screen, reading it aloud and giving me a list of canned replies. I miss being able to voice-reply through Cortana though... maybe there's a setting I need to do to revert back to having the phone handle the texts, but I haven't checked yet.Fully works with Microsoft Lumia 950 XL (Windows Phone 10)
