New Moto X with 4.4 The specs http://developer.verizon.com/content/vdc/en/verizon-devices/pages/mot_moto_x.html indicates MAP support but it doesn't seem to work and/or I don't see where to enable it.
My Panasonic landline telephone supports Bluetooth and specifically MAP. My Moto X will ring and the Panasonic landline phone successfully alerts me I have a call on the Moto X.
The feature for the Panasonic to alert me of a new text message from the Moto X via MAP does not work.
So this tells me the Bluetooth paring is working okay, but the MAP profile is not working.
If this is a defect, Motorola/Google needs to fix it fast if they want to replace i-phones!

I'm having the same problem. The moto x does have the MAP feature. To find it, if you are paired with your Panasonic system, look on the bluetooth settings of your cell. If you see your panasonic listed, touch the symbol to the far right of it's name. Another screen will appear with 2 options- "phone audio" and "message access". They should both be checked. If message access is not there as an option, then you have missed the confirmation question when you originally paired your phone. If so, unpair/delete the the cell from the panasonic , and the panasonic from the cell so you can re-pair the two and see the confirmation question that asks if you would like to grant the panasonic access to your cell messages.
Unfortunately, I have done this and everything shows to be connected with MAP support, however my panasonic still does not receive the text alerts.
It used to work with my previous Motorola Droid X with mo problems, so it may be an issue with the Moto X. There is an app for cells that do not have MAP capability, which I have also tried with no luck so far.
Please respond here if you find something that works for your Moto X
Did you try unpairing and resetting your Panasonic?
Thanks for the hint concerning checking 'phone audio' and 'message access'. Both were checked/enabled.
So, I started experimenting with unpairing/paring and noted that 'message access' would take a few minutes to show up (and checked/enabled).
I tried using the native Android Messenger (disabling Verizon Messaging) and I also tried the Panasonic Text Notification app (BTW, the Panasonic app, Text Msg Alert, informed me in Settings that received text messages will send an alert to the Panasonic phone!).
Unfortunately, none of that worked.
With the Panasonic app running, all I now have under Bluetooth is 'phone audio' (no 'message access').
Now...how do we get Motorola/Google to work on this defect?
Google bug pages is the best start. The best place for google to see bugs and potential fixes.

Any response from motorola regarding this issue?
Not a peep! I will have to call them again to wake Motorola up....
No luck in getting through to Motorola Level 2 again. I'll keep trying. BTW, I guess you guys heard Google sold Motorola Mobility to Lenovo at a bargain price. It's hard to say what will happen to Moto X support.
Had not heard about google selling off Motorola Mobility... that was short lived. I thought it was great positioning for google when they bought them.
I have just tried 4.4.2 as a beta test. All of the Panasonic Link-to-Cell features now work. I can't speak about any other MAP support. So, just hang in there until Motorola makes another public code push.
Can anyone tell me how to send a group text please?
I haven't been able to try my moto x yet since the new update that was pushed. Have you managed to get your phone with the update to work with the panasonic unit ?
Yes...after installing the beta 4.4.2, all of the features of the Panasonic Link-to-cell work.
So sounds like Kit Kat 4.4 broke the map profile? I've got a Droid Ultra and Sync in my Ford Focus. When I first got this phone on 4.2.2 text messaging in the vehicle worked. I noticed after the 4.4 update, I now get "unsupported" when I try to do text messages with my Focus and my Ultra.
Since my phone is not rooted there's not much I can do then? I tried a factory reset hoping it would take me back to 4.2.2 but it did not.
Scorpio61, I'm the wrong guy to ask, but that sounds like the situation. I had 4.4 since I've owned the Moto X.
Update:
My original Moto X failed to power on. Verizon sent me a replacement.
The new Moto X downloaded several updates. Once I paired the Panasonic to the Moto X, the 'Link-to-cell' feature works perfectly the first time.

Robert... are you sure you are running KitKat? Most the Droid Moto X and Ultra are shipped with Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Can you check your system info and verify you are now on 4.4?
Yep...4.4.2
I don't know what it was on the initial power up. The phone immediately started updating.
The Verizon site states the Moto X is shipped with 4.4:
On the Motorola Forum site, under Moto X - Verizon, they list 4.4.2:
MOTO X
Android 4.4.2 KitKat rollout began in February 2014
