Multiple text notification hell!
If this has been covered previously, I haven't run into it through my searches... I have a Galaxy S3, and it's connected via Bluetooth to my BRZ. When I first got the BRZ, the text message function worked perfectly well. Now however, when a text comes in, I get an alert for every text that's on my phone; old and new. So, if I have 10 text conversations sitting on my phone, and someone responds to me, I have to wait for the car to tell me 10 times that I have a new text message. Am I doing something wrong???

Funny, I have a s3 and mine has only ever once registered that I received a text, let alone multiple or helped me respond...

I didn't invent the feature; Subaru (or Toyota) did. The default setting for a bluetooth connection notifies you when a text comes in. The Nav voice says "You have a new text message", and then you can hit a button on the Nav screen to ignore or read it. If you hit read, the car reads it out loud. I'm not worried about "staying too connected." I really don't need the feature, but I just don't like the fact that my car isn't functioning correctly. For now, I've turned it off...

Problem solved. Haha. No disrespect I just can't believe someone would want that to happen. I hide my damn phone in my bag when I am in the car or throw it on the backseat.

I can only get the text to voice feature to work the very first time I connect my phone (HTC One) to the car. After I shut the car down and start it back up, it no longer notifies me if I have a text. When I hit the "retrieve text" button, it just sits there until it times out and say "messages can't be retrieved" If I completely disconnect and remove the phone from the radio and then re-connect from scratch it works, but only once. Any ideas?
I actually like this feature because my wife notoriously texts me when I am driving. I would like to be able to reply with the radio for her to call me. I leave my phone in my pocket when I drive.
