    Hello guys, this is my first post ever here, glad to join the community!

    I was advised by my salesman that they have not been able to sync the text message portion of the Samsung S5 with those trucks. Everything else works (music sync, phone sync)
    Have any of you guys been able to do it / hear about this issue? Anything I can do? I am planning to get the new S7, but worried it won't fix my problem.

    Honestly, I didn't care for it. So I didn't pursue the issue.

    Lol. I don't think they still are on the market, the S7 is it next week. Regardless, I obviously already have the phone

    Ya you'll have to talk to the dealer and see when it comes out. I wasn't told when it will be out just in the works

    My S5 works with my 2015 radio and will read while driving and display when stopped. I havent tried to send one of the quick responses back yet.
