Hi. I had a windows phone (Nokia) and when a new text came in, the car would automatically start reading it to me, and then let dictate a response to the text, and that was very nice. I got a new iPhone SE, and I can't see to figure out how to make that happen. I set it up so I can see new texts in Office, but its not nearly as convenient. Can the iPhone do what my Nokia did?

The car will read text message, but I have never seen it happen automatically.
You may be able to ask Siri.
Carplay can and many want to disable feature for privacy.

Thanks. I see its easy to have Siri read and reply to texts. And when I get a new text, and little email icon appears on the screen, but its not very obvious. And audible notification that a text came in would sure be nice.

Maybe I'm being dense but assuming it's not on silent doesn't your phone ping?

Yea, but I generally keep it on vibrate. I don't want to have to change it every time I get in/out of the car. The function I had with my old phone is probably just a microsoft feature, and IOS does not have it.

My phone does not ping when it is connected to the car, it will be nice for the car to sound or give you some kind of alert.
