Read texts function

[bruswain]

Hello, does any know if it's possible, and how, to code in read texts on screen? I don't have or need enhanced bluetooth, just the texts. I tried coding the long list I found online, but it did not work and had glitches (voice prompts and commands got turned off)

Car is 2018, with executive if that matters. I am coding this through expert mode in Bimmercode.


Thanks!

Here’s how I’ve coded my HU_NBT2 ECU for “enhanced” bluetooth and Office functions. I have a MY18 F80 with all packages, but without the wireless charging option. It allows pairing of 2 phones (secondary phone is for calls only) and enables a select set of Office menus in ConnectedDrive. OFFICE_MENUS_ACTIVE, MACRO_PIM, SMS_EIN_AUS and PIM_NEW_ELEMENT_SMS are needed for text messages and PIM_DRIVING_TEXT_LENGTH controls how much of a text message can be read while driving.

You can cut and paste the XML below into a cheat code file or manually code the settings as shown.

Thanks, will give this a shot tomorrow!

Have you physically confirmed that the secondary phone cannot receive calls? I mean, that was a limitation with the Combox back in the day but that was improved with the TCB (which your MY2018 has).

Yes, I confirmed that both phones work via Bluetooth. My phone is primary and my wife’s is secondary. They work individually or when both are connected, i.e. each can receive or place calls.
