Text and Email function
Looking at the new X3 vs GLC vs Q5. One thing keeping me from getting the X3 is no Android Auto. But doesn't BMW have some app that displays and reads text messages, and allows you to respond back? I think if this works well maybe I could overlook the Android Auto.

In my 2015 x3 35i, the text messaging read and reply was part of the enhanced bluetooth if I recall. I use it with the Dragon dictation to reply which costs like $25/yr and the voice dictation is quite good. I don't seem to see any similar package on the 2018 so maybe it's just a standard function now, which really it should be. But, BMW.
Anyway, it's not an app that is run - it's part of the Office function. |

Was just reading the MB site, if you get carplay/AA on the GLC, you lose the bigger screen and in built nav.
Not something I would personally go for, but I personally am going for BMW because their idrive system is way better to use compared to anything else on the market right now. I had an eye on a 17' GLC 43, but one of the things holding me back would be their COMMAND system.. another would most likely be the absence of a center gear selector |

I think I'm ok with losing Nav if I have Android Auto. I don't much care for the rest of Command, sounds like the touch "mouse" is too sensitive and gets in the way of just using the wheel.
Yeah the gear selector is just weird. Sit in one though, great seats!
