An iPhone app to read out SMS messages only when Bluetooth connected

I get messages from time to time when riding and have to pull over to see if it is important or not. I would really like to see an app that converts SMS messages to speech for my iPhone 3GS (iOS 6.x) when it is in a bluetooth connection with the headset, but not otherwise. This is so I don't have to set an app on/off depending on if I am using the Sena or not, it should be an option and thus automatic...

Thanks!

  OK, now I have an iPhone 6 and it supports MAP which "Message Access Profile allows devices to exchange messages. It's mostly used for automotive hands-free use." Automobile drivers have aps for their phones that will read text messages aloud. this would be of use to motorcyclists too!

  I am surprised that no-one else seems to be interested in this topic though, I assumed a number of riders get text messages who are working or traveling and the message may be important!

  Automobile drivers have hardware/software in their cars for their phones that will read text messages aloud. This would be of use to motorcyclists too!
  
  Ford has SYNC (2011 implemented):
