    Is the 'message' function on the new bluetooth compatible in Australia?

    My 2012 polo has the new bluetooth (the dash mounted one)
    And I cant seem to get to the bluetooth to 'read' the messages like it says it should.
    All the options are there, but they are greyed out.
    Im using an iPhone4.
    Have asked the dealer but he is not sure, he said it should work as far as he knows - which doesnt help me much.
    Anyone got it to work? (everything else works fine)

    It won't work because you're using an iPhone... I don't believe iPhones are compatible with this function... Doesn't work with mine either...

    RandomX is correct. You need a phone that supports rSAP. I think most Nokias and Blackberries support it, along with some androids.

    If this is similar to the functionality of the "9WZ" Bluetooth module I installed in my car, then it does work but needs phones which support RSAP (Remote SIM Access Protocol). AFAIK the iPhone doesn't support this - It seems to be Nokia and a handful of other phones.

    When it's working in this mode the car "borrows" the SIM from the Phone and uses its own 3G antenna to connect to the mobile network, so it's the car receiving text messages which is why it can display them.

    Bugger!!! Why build technology that doesn't support a phone that makes up one of the highest percentage of users??

    Is there an upgrade or additional software i can get for the iPhone?

    Theres a utility to do it if your iphone is jailbroken, it's called RSAPserver
    I'll try it when my car arrives, but it's not on a ship yet.

    If youre in canberra and want to try it you can try my phone, pm me.
