That’s what I thought, but I think that might be a Bluetooth limitation of the IPhone. The Samsung Galaxy phone I tested does transmit texts through Bluetooth without the need of a physical connection. The Clarity then reads the message to you. So like CarPlay, you don’t have to actually ‘read’ the message. It would be nice to be able to do it wirelessly like the Android.On screen? No. CarPlay reads them to you so eyes stay on the road.

Yes, no interest in 'reading' messages as I drive. But with the Android phone sitting on a seat, a message comes in and the Clarity screen alerts you. At that point you can have the car read the message to you. You can't do that with the iPhone. Only using CarPlay can simulate that. The convenience of no wired connection as with Bluetooth, is something I would have liked.

On the phone:
Settings > Bluetooth
Press the blue info circle next to your cars Bluetooth name.
Make sure “show notifications” is turned on.
Let me ask you this, did you do a 'custom screen' as I did?
