Sync-Texting-Verizon???
I drove a 2011 V6 premium manual. I was very very impressed by the performance. Even without the performance package, it was really fun to drive and surprisingly quick. It felt solid as hell!!!
My only qualm was that the sync system would not read the text from my blackberry storm. A little looking around I have found other sites where people have conjectured that Verizon has disallowed this function. Does anyone here know anything about that???

Hey dude, its due to the phone not being compatible. That is like that with A LOT of phones. I deal with all the SYNC issues at work & I have only seen one phone capable of transmitting texts via SYNC. On Syncmyride.com and in the Best Buy mobile catalog, They list the three levels of phone compatibility..gold, silver and bronze. Your phone is most likely a silver as most phones are. My Droid Incredible won't transmit texts either nor will my girlfriend's Nexus One.

Wow, just went to syncmyride.com to see what phones would do text to speech. Only 3 verizon phones and none are particularly great performers. Amazing how few top of the line phones really perform with the sync system. C'est domage.

I have an LG Rumor 2 with Sprint which isn't listed though some googling says it should work. The list probably needs some updating.
