It seems Bluetooth connections will now identify your car with the proper icon.
New logo

Old logo

Do you think a MyCar app is coming as well?

Here is the list of logos


I don't connect my devices to cars, so let me know if this has always existed, in different files...

Update 05/08/2013: Some brands now have proper car logos
Update 15/08/2013: MyCar apps coming to BlackBerry world

Wonder if my friend's Lada is in there

Apparently not and I couldn't find Bugatti either...

No Bugatti?! well I didn't just spend $2M just so that my BlackBerry won't show me the logo. I'm going to the iPhone.

No Bugatti here, neither

@ofutur, here's what you asked me to x-post here... Hope this gives you guys some insight into what the new MyCar features are!

EDIT: as of yet, there is no Benz logo anywhere, it's just a steering wheel, but it did refer to my car as "my Mercedes-Benz" during the initial setup -- flattering.

Also, no individual app has appeared -- all of the settings still reside within Settings>Network Connections>Bluetooth -- see below for more info!

start of repost...:
Is this different from the "My Car" feature on 10.2.0.810? I'm running this OS on my Z10 STL-3 and it's already pretty awesome.

When I linked it to my bluetooth connection in my car (since people like to ask for every detail, it's a 2008 CLK350, so I'm using the ancient Mercedes-Benz COMAND software with the 2012 update installed), it gave me all of these enhanced features and options for "My Car" ! It lists them on my lock screen whenever its connected:

• Handsfree Calling
• Media Player Control
• Voice Control
• Audio Streaming
• Internet Tethering
• Email/SMS Access
• Phonebook Access

... Too bad my car's software is from the Neolithic period and I can't take advantage of anything except calls, voice control via the car's microphone, and syncing my phone book.

SN: Funny, because when I get a C-class base model service-loaner next week, I bet it's going to working with all of those features

Didn't work for my Hyundai Genesis Coupe (boooooo) but it did work on my Kia Cadenza (...and it was AWESOME...no, wait, AWE-ALOT!)

Still no Bugatti

[chern]

not showing anything on my 2012 kia sportage

[xACiD]

MB logo coming up for me as well. Too bad it doesn't atleast have a transparent background, it just looks crappy on my Q10.

[Aatir Barlas]

Works perfect with the BMW iDrive. Even the Internet tethering works great. Short press on the steering wheel mounted voice command button activates the car's voice command system but a 2 second press activates the phones voice control.




Using BlackBerry Z-10, Don't be jealous be envy.

[vaioman]

Did you guys just setup a normal Bluetooth connection or are there any additional steps to this?

[williaml]

Does it have the option to read messages using text to speech?

Normal bluetooth connection.

Mine works great in my c63...I love the logo that comes up in 10.2.0.1047

Nope, it will just show up as "Your car". Time to switch to Bentley, Maserati, Jaguar, Ferrari or Lamorghini

[rdcanuck]

Loving these hidden gems.
After updating Z10 to 10.2.0.1047, I noticed that I wasn't paired any more with my Ram truck. I re-paired the connection. During the re-pair, I selected the U-Connect device (name of the vehicle software) that shows up on the Z10, it then presented a drop down list of car brands (this is new, I thought). So I selected RAM and immediately my phone connected to the display of my truck and synced the address book as usual.

The surprise was when I looked back at my Z10 and saw a full color RAM logo on my lock screen! Wow, wow, wow!

Unfortunately does not give me the logo with a 2013 VW Golf wagon
