I saw it on the screen in the middle. I want to know how that works. I don't see that with my phone.

I see what you mean. So, is this one of those European options that we don't get here in the US?

Agreed! BUT I am tired of being almost run off the road half of the time by idiot drivers that are on their cell phone. Do you really have to read your SMS on the MM while you are driving? I guess in theory you could read it when the car is not moving..

Don't you have an equivalent to the Euro option code 386 convenience telephony, meaning UHI/MHI connector at the centre console? With a phone on a cradle you should be able to read/write SMS messages too.

Europeans have SMS support with BT too, but this only works with the BT SAP profile adapter (as opposed to BT HF which is available in the US).
