Not me, I don't even hear the notification for text messages. My Moto-X has a feature where it will read my text messages and give me the option to reply, all hands-free while driving. Problem is, if connected to truck I don't even hear the text.

I have a question kinda related...if your phone is synced up to the truck, and you get a phone call, can you just say a voice command to answer the call and automatically start talking or is there buttons that need pushed?

On the steering wheel on the right there is a button to pick up the call and another to hang up.

Picking up the call is the same button if you want to use voice commands. It would not work because you would be answering the call.

In general when I have a call come in a blue "Answer" box pops up in my DIC. I push the CHECK button on the right steering wheel to answer the call. I just found the hang up button...

 

I have an IPhone 5S with Verizon. It sinks but I do not see or get Text messages when sinked.

Reading texts kind of defeats the whole concept of hands free phone calls. I'm getting old and I hate to be texted unless someone is giving me a number or something I would have had to write down.

I think that automakers are trying to get away from people texting and driving all together. reading a long text on the phone and reading a long text on you screen is the same thing. People are not capable of doing it while driving.

 

It would be nice to have text displayed but I'm ok with it because society as a whole have enough problems driving.

You won't hear them when B/T is connect if you allow streaming audio if you are listening to anything else other than the phone.

 

My galaxy works fine. Its the setting already on the phone.

If you could elaborate, you just might give an answer to thread that hasn't been provided.

It doesn't display them through screen but it does read the messages out loud.

 

When I turn on driving mode my text messages get read aloud over my phone. Even when I'm connected to bluetooth and not using they phone my phone speaker will still read them to me. If i'm on the phone talking through my truck it will read them through my truck speakers which is annoying when I'm talking to someone that doesn't need to hear my text

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
