All, So I think I have finally gotten to the bottom of this issue. After trying the iPhone 4, Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Blackberry (Torch and Z10); the Blackberry Z10 does it all. I have all three of my email accounts (work, MSN and Yahoo) and text messaging connected. I use AT&T service. I can receive emails and text, have them read to me, and then respond to all of them making use of all the capabilities of my 2013 GS 350 technology capabilities. Awesome! The best I could figure out is that Lexus utilizes QNX technology / application platform http://crackberry.com/press-release-qnx-announces-release-qnx-car-platform-20 to drive the car's technology (which utilizes bluetooth as the basis). QNX was purchased by Blackberry a few years ago and is dominant in the car technology market. Apple does not utilize this standard and limits bluetooth technology to music only and not email. Not sure about Samsung but I know it doesn't work. The sad part is that Lexus has yet to write the Enform App for Blackberry and has limited the App to Apple and Andriod. Does this make any sense? The car's technology is 100% functional with BB but they write the Enform App for Apple and Android. Crazy!! I hope this helps. Love my GS 350. I tend to leave work early for long rides to Hilton Head and staying connected with work via email with the ability to respond is super productive. The email responses (there are 15 of them) can be customized when the can is stationary so if you have a need for messages like "approved" or " call my celll at "XXX-XXX-XXXX" you can change some of the 15 to personalize. Hope this helps. Jim

I had the same result with the iphone 5. I am sticking with my BB Torch for the moment. I can receive text messages and emails from all three of my email accounts at the same time. All are capable of being read to me. Unfortunately just can't reply to them. I am going to sit tight until Apple or Samsung get their act together and I can make full use of my 2013 GS capabilities. If anyone finds out any phone that does all of this, please post. Thanks for the help.

I tried the Galaxy S4 and it worked fine for both sending and receiving text messages. It did not have any email capabilities. I am going to try the iphone 5 next. Can anyone tell me why Lexus' mobilelink site no longer references email capabilities? Thanks and let me know if you have any phones that do it all - email and texts - receiving and sending.

SW03ES and Apollo15- Thank you for the replys. Sounds like android is the way to go. One question I had was to clarify that when you say android will support message replys - are you referring to text messages, email messages or both? I noticed the lexus.com/mobilelink has conveniently stopped reporting on email messages and now only speaks to text message capabilities. Not sure why but it is a bit frustrating. It would be great to hear from someone about the Galaxy S4. That sounds like it might handle everything I want to do - email and text sending and replys as well as Enform capabilities. Anyone have first had experience with this phone with AT&T as the service provider (or not)? thanks again

I own a 2013 GS350 with Navigation. I have a blackberry and am able to receive email and text. I am not however able to use the 15 standard replys that the come with the vehicle. I have been told by the dealer that it has to do with my phone's compatibility with the car. I use AT&T as my service provider and plan to buy a different phone to take advantage of the "reply feature". Does anyone know what phones are 100% compatible so that I can make use of all the benefits of the emailing and texting features (replys)? I have been told that the iphone(s) are not capable of using the "reply" feature either. Thanks for the help.
