here in France you can not create message by voice. (only call up received texts and have them read outloud)

Here in the US, as long as you have Show Notifications Turned on in the Bluetooth Settings on your phone for the Mercedes, using the voice button on the steering wheel, you can have Siri read and respond to texts.

No. It doesn't have to be connected via CarPlay to get Siri to read or respond to messages.

If you have an iPhone:

Go to Bluetooth settings on your iPhone
Tap the the Mercedes there
Tap the little circle with an i in it
Turn on Show Notifications

When you receive a text message you should hear a beep to let you know a message came in.
You can now press and hold the voice button on your steering wheel (keep holding it) until you hear the Siri beep
Ask Siri to read your text message and she will
You can also ask Siri to reply to text, by doing the same hold the voice command button on your steering wheel

What phone do you use? I provided how to set it up on iPhone, but if you have a different phone like Android, I don't know how Android turns on notifications for Bluetooth connection.

I am able to send a text message via command through my iPhone all the time. Apple doesn't stop this at all.

all is set as it should but it's either the car or the phone that won't let me do it.
maybe they blocked it out of safety…,

Certainly things vary from country to country. I'd reach out MB in France directly and ask them.

Check out my ultimate mods thread for the c300 which includes the setup for this one which I think is pretty darn clean looking and puts the phone screen next to the stock screen.

Pretty soon we'll have 1985-sized phones again. WooHoo .
