Is Voice to Text Messaging without CarPlay/AA Even Possible?

[racekarl]

If it is a licensed Siri feature, why does it work in a car with plain Bluetooth - no audio over Bluetooth other than phone calls- andno Siri or iphone functionality built in(other than iPod support in the stereo)?

That was the whole point of it. It basically allowed the car to “wake” Siri using a button then used the BT phone profile to pass audio. It was superseded by CarPlay and isn’t really in use any more. A car without Siri Eyes Free would not have a voice command button to wake Siri, so that’s the tip off.

A MY2009 Mini with Bluetooth has a voice command button, and definitely no siri Eyes Free.

If you long press on your voice command button and hear the Siri tone and can talk to Siri over Bluetooth, you have Siri Eyes Free.

Alexa can text, though only to other individuals who have enabled this Alexa feature. I'm considering spamming my entire contact list to accept and become part of Bezos experiment ?
