FAQs
Can I still voice text if my device is not
listed?
We are constantly testing devices and
updating our compatibility database.
If your device is not listed, you may
still be able to pair and connect your
MAP supported device to a compatible
MTC+ radio to see if all or most voice
texting functions work. Check your
device manufacturer if MAP is
supported on your device.
Can I use voice texting while in my
other Maserati vehicle?
The Voice Texting free text response
feature is available only on MTC+
(sales code RA4) radio. Other Maserati
vehicles do support hands free texting,
but only with fixed responses.
My “Messaging” soft-key on the
touch screen is White, but I can only
use pre-formatted responses
The Voice Texting free-form voice
response requires a subscription to the
MTC+ Access Advantage package.
(some devices will support
pre-formatted responses, but not
free-form. Refer to www.maserati.com
for further details.)
Do I have to “train” my MTC+ Radio to
my voice?
Maserati uses the latest voice
recognition engine that provides good
recognition without required training.
This makes it easier for a passenger to
also use the system.
Can a passenger voice text?
Yes, however, voice recognition
microphones are optimised for the
driver, so the system may have
difficulty hearing the passenger; also,
the system will use the currently
connected device, so be sure your
passenger isn’t sending texts to the
wrong recipient.
Does Voice Texting work with
accents?
Speech isn’t perfect. Technology isn’t
perfect. While Maserati strives to use
the latest voice recognition engine,
the technology may have difficulty
with strong accents.
Can I voice text my car?
The “Voice Texting” feature allows
you to listen to, and reply to text
messages (SMS) sent to your device by
voice while in your vehicle.
How many pre-formatted replies are
there?
You can respond with a set of up to 18
preset outgoing messages such as "I’ll
call you later.” Refer to “Voice
Texting” paragraph in this chapter.
Can I use abbreviations and
emoticons?
Of course! Just say the name of the
most popular emoticon or
abbreviation, e.g. smiley, frown, wink,
& LOL.
Can I use text messaging if the
“messaging” button doesn’t turn
white?
Only MAP compatible devices will
work with text messaging. If your
device is compatible, the “messaging”
light will turn white, after the device
is Bluetooth
®
connected, and you will
then be able to do hands free text
messaging. The system will respond
with “Sorry, I didn’t understand you”
if you push the steering wheel phone
button and say a voice command
for text messaging, when the button
isn’t active (“white”).
