2014 W212 texts read aloud while driving.

Hello everyone. I seem to be having a problem accessing this while driving. My 12 ml had this with no problem and for some reason the e class doesn't allow this?


Can someone help to get this to work?

Mine allows it no problem. When the screen pops up that reading text is not allowed if I push the command button down or right (I don't remember) you can access the menu to read out the text.

thanks Greg - I will play with this tomorrow..


strange that the ML let me read it on the screen and have it read out loud, will the W212 is more restrictive..


I think the naviks video in motion module should fix all of this..

I got a different VIM kit from eBay and it also lets you read the text messages on the screen while driving so if the naviks works the same way it should be fine.

My iphone 5 doesn't let me have the texts read out loud... The texts selection on the comand is grayed out... How do I fix this?
