On the 2017 the text messages are no longer introduced by the computer voice (this is what happens on a Windows phone) which is nice, but the email icon comes up on the screen and the music gets cut off and I have to push the phone "hang up" button to get the music back on.
The only way to avoid the verbal announcement is to turn the blue tooth off on the phone.
When dating women of low self-esteem, and having other people texting (no real control over what others do) and it being broadcast in the car can be an issue.
I find the car to be much less of an annoyance and challenge then a woman with "issues." I have probably dated a dozen women for every car I have owned and all I can say, with possibly the exception of MG, is that cars are much less work.

iOS 11 has a txt auto reply if you're driving. Android allows IFTTT, which makes it easier to auto reply

Not working anymore
I have an LG G4 and after the latest update it doesn't load texts anymore. I can make calls through the bluetooth, but when I go to texts it doesn't show anything. Any suggestions? I only use it when the car is stopped at a light.
Also, the bluetooth on the car is now a bit flaky. Sometimes I get it and it works, other times it is connected for data only and won't allow music to come through the PCM so I have to disable blootooth on my phone, renable it, then reconnect to the PCM and allow the connection. A real pain!
