More technology questions re: Messaging

My smartphone is a Blackberry 9900 and my car is a 2013 GS350 AWD with the full nav system, etc.

I am having some issues with the messaging funcionality of the car. I am able to have the car read my emails but there are two issues:

I have confgured the Lexus setup to not update the read status of my emails, but it still seems to mark all emails as read.
The car also you to send a quick reply to an email or SMS. But when I try this it always fails.

Does anyone have these functions working properly? What phone are you using? Is their some special config required on your phone?

I have an iphone 4S and during setup, my sales guy told me that the "reply" feature doesn't work. He explained that in the future when the phone manufacturer's update the apps it may work.

Thanks - what about your read/unread marking of emails. Does it work properly for you or are you seeing the same behaviour that I describe?

Regarding the reply - is this a Lexus shortcoming or a phone shortcoming?

Is there a better forum for discussing these technology issues? I imagine the systems are the same for all Lexus (Lexii?) so wouldn't it make sense to have a forum to discuss issues regarding 2013 Nav systems (or something like that).
