My new truck has seemingly endless computer technologies as stock. However, I asked my Daughter how to blend the voice commands to "Make" Text messages and maybe even emails as I drive. She quickly said it can't be done. "I Knew it COULD"...but I kept quiet. Kinda FUN to shock young'ens as to what Ole Pop's can do.
I did a few minutes looking and found the below. Once on the site, there are topics up top for various areas of a vehicle. I figured that if I post the below, it may help another "Old fart" find some very helpful technologies that easily hook-up and give an older vehicle enhancements that will be enjoyed while on a long distance drive to Hunting Grounds. I will see if a Satellite service can make up for times when no cell service is available, ie: sending Text to Home, etc... Possibly also send Pictures and Video from afar.
