Text message read out still working??

[StealthyBulldog]

Hey all, noticed the past few times that when I get a text message and click "hear it" on the screen, it is very faint and really can't hear it. What I noticed today is that the music is still playing whereas I'm pretty sure previously it would mute the music and read the text. Is anyone else having issues? Thanks

I have that issue randomly with CarPlay on 3.4 build 19274, or whatever the latest build is.

It happens on both my Samsung and the wife's Apple, just normal bluetooth hookup. Frigging annoying. I haven't done the 3.4 upgrade.

FYI there is volume for prompts while prompts are playing. Volume works radio in normal mode but it adjust other things while they are happening. Such as, navigation prompts, voice prompts etc.

Thanks!! I had read this and tried, but I guess the text was too short so it didn't seem to work. Made the wife send me a text telling me ALL the things she loves about me, had lots of time to turn the volume up and it seemed to work!

I have a 2018 Expy and didn't know the ability to read text messages was available. How do I set this up? Thanks!

Two ways I guess, when your phone is paired and you get a new text message it will pop up on the screen and you can tap "Hear it" and it will read it out.

You can also click on the phone icon on the screen, hit "text message" on the screen and hit the volume icon beside the text message you want read out.

Just going from memory, pretty sure I'm not missing any steps.

Also when your phone is paired, hit the voice button and say "Check Messages". It reads out all the new ones.

I tried that with my wife, her text was even shorter.
