under the Bluetooth connection on your phone, there should be an option to show messages.

I've had the same question. I have an iPhone 5s and it doesn't give that option.

For iPhone users, go to settings-> bluetooth-> then click blue i with circle next to sync. Make sure show notifications is on.

Try this;

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 was the opposite of you. I hated when I got a text and it would interrupt my music so I wanted to turn it off.

I had to delete the phone from the truck and delete sync on my phones BT connection list. Then I re-initiated the BT connection to sync. When it established it asked if it could access my contacts, YES. Then it asked if it could access my text messages, NO (you would say yes).

8.1.2. I have sync but not the touch version. I have the smaller screen.

Well I'll be damned. I just figured that would be disabled because of the truck being in motion.

Thanks for sharing!
