Assist Not Reading Texts in Driving Mode

I see the driving mode icon and I have enabled "talk to me" and "read txt messages". Also the phone connects to my blue tooth in the car.

Any helpful appreciated...
 
Got my answer below. I'm using Go SMS Pro so I turned off the default. Will see how it goes...

Nope still doesn't work.

I'm pretty sure that you need to be using stock messaging, with notifications turned on in that app, for the driving assist to read your messages to you.


This is a decent thread, and somebody mentions there that connecting via BT doesn't read messages out loud. I have a new BT deck in a new car but haven't received any texts while driving to see what happens. If it works for me, I'll let you know. But I do know that as long as the phone goes into drive assist mode properly (which doesn't always happen, grrr), the phone will offer to read my texts when I'm not using BT.
