My bet is you'll have to replace the text app with one that reads.
This phone and VW Tiguan works OK for phone calls but I'm having difficulty making it read out alerts and incoming texts.
I've searched around a bit and most answers mention Driving Mode which I can't find, I assume the Mini doesn't have it.
Any help appreciated.
