My Android does what you are describing.
The answer you are looking for is, yes. Go to the phone settings option and enable the TEXT function. You are not required to use Car-play or Android Auto.Can you set up reading text messages via Bluetooth on a RTL-T with an iPhone or can this be accomplished only through apple play? When my phone is connected via Bluetooth I am not able to tell that I have received a text message.
I will say, though. I didn't work for me on my personal iPhone. But it did on a company Android. I didn't look into it, but I got a message that said my phone is incompatible. Just a heads up... there seems to be some requirement of the phone. So I just settled with Car-Play. Good luck.Thanks I'll give it a try.
You also may have to go into the bluetooth settings on your phone, select the blue circled i to the right of the device and set 'Show Notifications'.The answer you are looking for is, yes.
