Replying to text messages whilst on the move
I have the Pro Nav, and find it pretty handy to be able to read (or have it dictated) any new SMS messages that I get whilst I'm driving.
But I can't find anyway of replying to the messages. There appears to be a dictate option - but I have to be STOPPED ? Whats the point in that ?!?!? And I think I can only reply to an EMAIL address - even if I get an SMS ??? Am I going about it wrong? Is there a way to reply (preferably dictate) to an SMS ? Andy

I haven't found a way to do it, but then just calling the person if they need a reply seems easier

Not ideal, but I would have thought most smartphones would do this natively? So Siri on the iPhone....

Lol. Using the Bimmerpost app on the phone and it messed up the quotes. I made it worse trying to fix. Be interesting to find out when you're next in the car again to see if it works....
If not I will sooo miss it. Use it also to issue commands to play certain albums /playlists etc while driving as well as the commands to call people...

I have the new pro nav in mine, which comes with Dragon Drive Dictation and allows you to dictate a text or email response while driving; though unfortunately I haven't actually got it to send with my iPhone 5 yet!

Whatever next?
Me - Did you see that cyclist?! Siri - I have not. (genuine answer!) Me - Am I going to run out of petrol? Siri - I found fifteen petrol stations... twelve of them are fairly close to you. Me - I feel so inadequate. What can I do? Siri - Have you considered a 330d?

I finally worked out how to do this.
Whilst stationary you have to enable Dragon Naturally Speaking on the Pro Nav. Register and you get 60 days free. Then you pay £20 a year. And by gum .. it actually works. Its dependent on your phones internet access for the service - but it works perfectly well. I can now reply to emails, and or text messages on the move just through dictation.
