Feature Request: Implement Bluetooth MAP
Many modern cars have support Bluetooth's Message Access Protocol, allowing mobile phones to send text messages to the car's Bluetooth module which will print them on the in-dash display and/or read them to the driver via a text-to-speech library.
Please add support for this protocol to Xabber.
Wouldn't it be more general to enable a TTS option in Settings -> Notifications -> Key Phrases? That way, you could opt to have the content of specific messages from specific senders read using the system-wide TTS service instead of relying on a technology not everyone has. I could see this also having an option to only fire while connected to a specific BT device, so you could have it only work in your car or while wearing a BT-enabled motorcycle helmet.
I don't think they're mutually exclusive features.
Bluetooth MAP doesn't just do text-to-speech. It sends the message itself to be printed on a HUD or in-dash display. I don't know the spec well enough, but I would expect a MAP-enabled device receiving an MMS message with an image to display the image, too.
