Interesting to run across this thread…I’ve had, on occasion, the issue where the system has been unable to reach the cloud to do processing, but it’s always resolved itself, given time or forward motion (different cell tower?).

The challenge I have, perhaps due to a middle American accent, is that my car can’t tell the difference between ‘text Aaron’ and ‘text Erin’. I have several friends who bear the name Aaron, but even scrolling through that list when I can spare the attention to look at the screen, my frien Erin , who I text frequently, never shows up on the list.

I assume I’m doing something wrong, but I’m not sure what it is. For now, I’ve created a duplicate entry using a different, and unique name, but would be fascinated by any suggestions as to how to fix this conundrum in an appropriate manner.

Thanks in advance!

Both problems seem to be solved with 11 update...

It's because you have an Apple ID email address associated with her contact card, so when you respond, your phone is sending a message to her email address, not her phone number. Bluetooth texting only works for phone numbers.

I had to uncheck the option to respond using my Apple ID email address in messages settings, and further, delete the email address in the contact card, for contacts that I could never get voice command text messaging to work with in the car.

Late to the party but I went to the bluetooth section of my iphone 12 v 15sw and tapped the information icon and allowed notifications and can now send voice text from the car.

Hmm... Some days texting works, some days it doesn't and gives me the "you need iOS x or Android X to use texting" message, my version of Android is the latest, all permissions granted. Some days it works perfectly, some days not at all.
