Still haven't been able to get text messages with Droid RAZR Maxx HD despite BT settings in phone showing MAP is connected. Worked OK on my previous vehicle. There have not been any changes to Android version (4.4.2) nor Verizon s/w, so maybe Comand has some incompatibility. A little disappointing.

@noka: Well, my Razr Maxx HD is on its last legs with its battery swelling and distorting the case and was replaced by a Samsung Note 4. That said, I can still get it to power up. So, when my car comes in I'll see if I can figure it out.
As an aside, I'll NEVER buy a phone with a sealed battery again. Yes, the battery can be replaced if you tear apart the phone which may work for many people. I travel too much and it's more of an undertaking than I'm willing to do in an airport lounge waiting for the next plane.

Well, I'm still not getting text messages with my Droid RAZR Maxx HD. I'm up for a contract renewal/upgrade with Verizon in a few months. My question is: Does anyone have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and if so, do you get texts? How does it work in general? I have a US spec 2015 E350/4M.

. +1. This. There is no business conference that demands more attention than the life of a person on the street. Talking on the phone even when using bluetooth causes decreased attention on the road. Human brain cannot handle two operations simultaneously at 100% level. So if the conference is that crucial and important, then the more likelihood that your driving attention will be even more reduced. Those who say that its just like having a conversation with someone in the car....ever seen some driver quarreling with the passenger / wife / spouse, etc while driving...
. I hope you get my point.Dude, you've got an MB. Enjoy the drive and forget about work at least for a while.
