I have Sync 3 if that matters but whenever I hit the voice command on the steering wheel I only get options to "Call", "Radio Source - AM/FM, etc." and maybe one other.

It doesn't give me the text option on the screen. If I say "Text" it either cancels or tells me it doesn't understand. I tried "Send Text" and it tells me my inbox is full.

Is there some setting I have wrong?

 

 

Thanks Voltruck but that didn't cover my problem. I can receive text messages on the sync screen and I get the menus provided ("hear it", "reply"). But if I am driving and want to send a text message to my wife, I should be able to hit the voice command button on the steering wheel and tell the system to send a text. This is where the problems is: I can't do that but according to the manual I should be able to.

I am guessing I have some setting incorrect but can't figure out if or which one that is

 

What kind of phone?

 

Iphone 6s

 

If you hold down the voice command button, it should bring up Siri and you can use that to compose/send a text.

 

Hold the button until you hear the Siri chime

 

From the phone screen I just tap Siri then say "text wife" she responds with " what would you like to say to wife".

 

Another option is to turn on "hey Siri" on your phone. When your phone is plugged into the USB port you can just say "hey Siri, text wife" and she will reply.

 

on my wifes sync 2, she claims with her iphone 6s, she holds down the steering wheel phone button longer than just to make a call and siri comes up.
