So with the help of this post I am now able to listen to text again in my truck and the wife's Edge. However no luck in sending responses back or from my truck. I am wondering if it's because I have it set to use iMessage instead of SMS?

What is important is in the phone bluetooth menu. See pics

Message notifications must be ON in the sync phone menu. This is in the truck SYNC 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.

Hey Rubyredlimited,

I'm glad it's working for you!

Try a clean pairing to your phone using Tip #3: https://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-...th-myford.html Because this is a setting that needs to be activated on the phone, you will need contact Apple to see what's going on if this doesn't work. Keep me posted.

DeereGeff,

Apple hasn't optimized the use to send text messages over Bluetooth through SYNC. If you have the MyFord Touch system, you can use Siri with version 3.8: http://owner.ford.com/how-tos/sync-t...th-sync-3.html

The instructions say SYNC 3, but it's the same process.
