Apple Carplay - only reads out text?

hello, sorry if this has been previously covered, but I am only able to have siri read out my text messages, it does not display the text message - is this a limitation of the bmw carplay?

I assume it's an overall limitation of CarPlay ... CP is all about reducing distractions and removing the need to look away from the road, so turning text to speech (and vice versa) is what it's all about

Yup, CarPlay in all vehicles functions the same way. Siri just reads the texts as the idea is not to take your eyes off the road.
