Its great isn't it
I believe the 730n is capable of this.I'm for anything that makes cell phone use in a moving vehicle safer.
Now, they need the voice recognition technology that works 2 ways. It interprets text messaging coming in, and speaks it out; and it takes your spoken word and converts to text and sends it.
You get what you pay for. I had to fork over the extra $200+ to get mine to work. I sure do love it, though. Hated driving and holding the phone to my ear. It was distracting.Yes, it is a nice feature. What gets me is my 300C has a touchscreen RBZ radio with the U-Connect buttons on it and you have to add a kit to get it to work.

Yes, check out post #25.Did you install it yourself.
It may be awhile before a car is able to do it, which would be very cool. However, there are currently programs that do just that. I used a text reader on my Blackberry (company phone) which was "okay" at best. Needed lots of improvements.Now, they need the voice recognition technology that works 2 ways.

Again, pretty sure the 730n does this. Will confirm in a couple of weeks.It may be awhile before a car is able to do it, which would be very cool.
First off, congrats on the U-connect. I love the feature. One of the few luxuries I think should be STANDARD on every car, simply due to safety reasons. Especially for those of us with 6-speed's. :browsmiley:
Which radio do you have? I have a base package (27F) RT that I have to add the module and do some programming to get the functionality. I've heard there is one radio that has the module built-in, you just have to get it programmed to turn it on. Maybe an RBZ? I don't remember.

On my Android (personal phone), I have a microphone button on all my text message screens and search screens and if I hit it can simply speak what I want to type and it converts. Very cool. :thumbsup: Got the HTC btw.
