My touch and iPhone6
So I was just issued an iPhone 6 from work (not 6s). Prior to pairing this with my truck I was using an android phone and was able to see text messages on the screen. With the iPhone I am not able to see them, instead I get a message that says my device is not able to use this feature.
I'm guessing there's a lot of people that have run into this, has anyone found a solution.

There is another post that answers this. But in summary...
1. Update your MTF to 3.8 (for this you may need to find the other thread)
This will allow you to hold down the button on the steering wheel for 3 sec, to get Siri via the bluetooth. Siri allows you to use voice commands to make calls, read texts, send texts, etc.
In the phone settings...
2. In the phone Bluetooth settings, select the "i" beside SYNC, and enable Show Notifications.
3. In the phone Notifications-Messages, enable "Show on Lock Screen"
If you have done all this while in the truck and paired. You will need to turn off the truck and open the driver door. They start it back up to reconnect.
Good luck.

RacerBX1 and ConnectEgr are both correct. Make sure you turn SHOW NOTIFICATIONS on in the Bluetooth settings of your iPhone: https://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-...ur-iphone.html Let me know if this doesn't work.

Hey katoom,
Try turning the Bluetooth off and back on before getting into the car. Also, the iPhone must be on the locked screen to receive the notification through SYNC. Go to SETTINGS>NOTIFICATIONS>MESSAGES to make sure SHOW ON LOCKED SCREEN is turned on.

So I have everything working except being able to see text messages on the screen. I can use Siri and I can send messages but I cannot see any from the screen. Is this normal or is there still something that I need to resolve.

Did you follow the phone settings in post #3. I have an iPhone 6 also and mine shows up on the screen.

Were you able to try the things I wrote in my last post? In addition to that, please make sure DO NOT DISTURB is not activated on your iPhone. You'll know it's on if you see a crescent moon next to your battery indicator.
