No more option to respond to text messages

[almiami]

On a 2021 1500 , the option to respond to a text thru voice command is no longer available. Only option is preset messages.
Anyway to bring it back? I feel like we are going backwards. We used to be able to respond to a text without picking up the phone. Now if you want to respond got to reach for the phone ot interact with display.

Nope, not natively. If you connect your phone and start either Android Auto or Carplay. You can then press and hold the Voice Command button on the wheel until you hear or see either Google or Siri acknowledgement tone and then ask to send a text to someone.

As long as my phone is plugged in it works but it doesn’t do it wirelessly .

Correct. I think you have to wait for the next generation of Uconnect for wireless or purchase a wireless carplay dongle.

Siri works great by pressing and holding the “talk” button on the steering wheel, even if my phone is not plugged in. Not sure in Android phones do something similar.

My phone doesn’t have to be plugged in for this feature to work. Just press and hold the “talk” button on the steering wheel and Siri pops up.

I get that but I’m referring to when you get a text message while you’re driving and the “voice“ (Siri?) says “ you have a text from ( whomever ) would you like to hear it ?” You say yes and it reads the text to you and then asks if you would like to reply . You say yes and it asks ” what would you like to say ?” You say what you want and it repeats it to you and asks if this is correct you say yes and then it asks if you would like to send it , you say yes and then it says message sent .
No pressing any buttons or anything .

Oh. Yeah, no, it doesn’t do that! Lol!

My 14 did that too, and it completely seems silly to not have that with the new system. Loved hearing the replay of some of my replies
