Well that don't work for everybody. I have the show notifications enabled. I had mine working at one time and now after my Master Reset it does not work. And the first time trying to set it up I had lots of issues until my MFT screen went blank on me and then ran a maintenance program. But I have the show notifications enabled and followed all the instructions in the post above this one and it does not work for me. I may get the "this device does not support text messaging and times when I go in to the settings I may not.

There is a lot of good info in this thread: https://www.f150forum.com/f38/iphone-5-sync-207637/
However, Follow these steps exactly (props to [MENTION=130156]jgohlke[/MENTION] for writing all this out).
The sequence seems to have a large part of it working or not.
1) Truck - Delete phone from BT device list.
2) Phone - Delete Sync from BT connection list.
3) Phone - Reboot. (Do steps 4 & 5 while you wait for this to finish)
4) Truck - Turn off, pull the key, open the door.
5) Truck - Close the door, restart.
6) Truck/Phone - Pair your phone fresh w/MFT. Let it finish.
7) Phone - Turn BT off.
8) Phone - Turn BT on.
9) Truck - Hit "connect" on the MFT screen to reconnect BT.
10) Phone - Go into the BT Profile Settings screen for Sync (little arrow to the right of Sync, in Settings, Bluetooth)
11) Phone - Set Notifications to "On".
12) Phone - Back up a screen and turn BT off again.
13) Phone - Turn BT back on.
14) Truck - Hit "connect" on the MFT screen again to reconnect to phone.
I did exactly this to my phone/truck when I was trying to fix my text messaging issues. I haven't had a problem with it since.

As for turn by turn; From my understanding, if you are using turn by turn on your phone while listening to the BT Stereo signal (not sure if USB works the same. i only ever use BT), the voice instructions should come out the truck speakers.
If you are listening to an audio source outside of the BT Stereo connection, the turn by turn obviously wont come through the speakers.
If you have the factory nav and aren't getting turn by turn, that is just a setting within the MFT Nav settings.

Mine works perfect on my 2013 Limited with my iPhone 5 I get txt messages on MFT Navi when I get a txt a box pops up like when u get a phone call I press the listen button and it reads it to me. Go on your phone to Bluetooth click on the sync the is paired the it will bring u into setting at the top turn on notification bam and u have all my fellow iPhone users u got txt messages set up.
Its funny when "she" reads some text and doesn't know how to say some things and instead spells them out.
