Bluetooth connected iPhone text notifications

Leopold · 02-22-2017, 02:36 PM

Has anyone figured out how to get new text message receipt notices when iPhone is connected via Bluethooth? So far I can't figure out how to get it to make a sound when a new text message comes in. I haven't tested when the phone is connected via USB yet, but I'm wondering if maybe it doesn't as a safety feature.

There's no sound generated by the car; if you were listening to BT audio streaming as your input, you would hear the text tone from your phone.

that's what I was expecting to happen but the text tone didn't come through the stereo. I was hoping it would act the same as a BT headset does.
