Message notifications must be ON in the sync phone menu.
MAP Profile must be ON in System setting ADVANCED in sync menu.
Texts must be able to show up in locked screen on iphone.
In the iphone under... Settings/Notication Center/ Messages/ Show in lock screen must be on.
Sync will only notify you when one comes in if iphone screen is locked.
Mine stopped for a few weeks after I turned the show in locked screen setting off. Now it works again after turning that back on.

About an hour later I was driving down the road and felt my phone vibrate to let me know a text came through. I then heard a weird tone out of my sync unit and saw a message to play/ download a text! I could not believe my eyes! I pulled over and almost passed out! Texting was working on my truck. I was able to play the text, view it and download them all! I tried sending one but it failed. For some reason it won't send anything, but at least I can receive and play them.
I have been researching and following the threads for 2012 sync/ nav NON-MFT for years now and this is the first time in over two years I have ever heard of anyone with a 2012 being able to view and play text messages!
Thank you Swilky!

I too have never tried to send one from the truck.
When it tells me "MESSAGE RECEIVED" I press the sync button on wheel and say "READ MESSAGE" and the truck sync lady will read the text through the speakers and show on the screen who it was from.
Glad it is working for you.

I think the problem with a lot of us is that Gen 1 Sync doesn't support reading text messages, no matter whether its upgraded, or not. That's my understanding, from reading up on it at the myfordsync website. I think you need Sync 3.5 or higher, which Gen 1 won't take.
