Receive texts on display?
I have a 2013 C250 with navi and HK audio and I hook my phone up via Bluetooth. I've read that people can receive texts on the display via Bluetooth also. How do I set that up!?! Thanks

I have the same car, and setup. If you use the COMAND knob, at the top, navigate to PHONE. Once you're on that screen, at the bottom, select the TXT MSG option. I think once your phone is paired, the texts automatically download to the car. You can read them onscreen while the car is stopped, but when in motion, that feature is disabled, but you can have them read aloud.

I find this interesting. I have 2012 c250 with comand but Im able to read (see) them when my car is driving. No mods on the command, straight factory. I just find it interesting that they tweak small things like this between years.

Maybe it's my phone - I use an HTC ONE (M7).

It's not so much using the functionality, but my car has the feature, I just paired the phone, and set it up, and leave it alone. I may have actually used it once while sitting at a light...but that's about it.

Plus Texas just passed a hands free driving law. No texting or talking in the car unless u use a hands free kit.
