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

I am able to send a text message via command through my iPhone all the time. Apple doesn't stop this at all.
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.
It was a $150.00 option on my car. I have a iPhone 8 and it works quite well. I think there could be an issue for the larger phones which may be too large for the charging pad.
Pretty soon we'll have 1985-sized phones again. WooHoo .
