It was probably a very important message.

They should have a snooze button.

And I bet your qualcomm unit still has that piercing beep, instead of the gentle voice.

I'd prefer a spam blocker. I can think of no reason a fleet message about new Canadian border crossing procedures couldn't wait until afternoon to be sent out. Speaking of Canada, here's a few lines from a song written by some guys from your old neighborhood.

Sleep your sleep
I'm awake and alive
I keep late hours
You're a nine to five...

I rest my feet while this world's in heat and I wish that you could do the same...

For messages like that, they should be able to just turn on the light without activating the beep. No reason I can think of that this shouldn't be a feature.

Im all for the snooze feature, if its not an emergency, its stored and you read when you awake, Sending assinine messages when drivers are supposed to be getting a GOOD SOLID SLEEP is one of my pet peeves, I quit a good job because a company couldnt seem to realize I SLEEP and no message about the road conditions in FLORIDA where I never go is important to wake me up, I dont want a qualcomm and my cell phone is off when Im on my SLEEP PERIOD....if an emergency happens Ill respond as soon as I get the message, AFTER I SLEEP.

I was just waking up and opening the passenger window to bring the Clink back
inside the truck. Love the new longer chord.

I have to say, it's nice to be leased to a carrier that sends very few messages across the qc. They will send a few of the fleet messages out, but not many. We also have the volume button that WORKS.
