I have a VZW iPhone 6 IOS 9.3.2 that I can successfully pair with my 2015 GS350 w/ Nav. It is the only device paired.

I have no issues with calls (incoming/outgoing). Ringer tone comes from the iPhone, not the car.
For text messages, I have it set to NOT display incoming text on the Nav display. This is working fine.
However, my issue is that I can NOT get any Text Tone for incoming text on my iPhone.

The only way I can get it to work is to go into the Bluetooth settings, and select "Disconnect as an Audio Player" for the paired iPhone. See attached screenshot.

Once disconnected, the Text Tone works just fine. When someone sends me a text, the Text Tone comes from the iPhone. But I have to do this every single time the phone is paired with the car Bluetooth.

Does anyone else have this problem? TIA.

Is your iphone set on silent mode?

I have my work Iphone 6 plus paired to my 14 for music. I don't get many text messages but work email makes a noise and turn down music for second.

Tom4GS

No. Immediately after selecting the "Disconnect as an audio player" setting, text tone works.

I can't get that setting to stick/disabled.

I had that problem when i got my 6+. Took it to the dealer and they fixed it. Theres a setting on the phone that has to be enabled. Then disconnect from the car and reconnect.'

Thanks Larry. Could you elaborate on what the dealer did? Also, I've gone through all the possible settings on the phone but was not able to find anything remotely close to disabling audio. If you know the steps, please share them. Thanks!

I had the same problem with my Samsung S6 after an update. I had to reactivate the text to speech function in my language and input settings to make it work again. No more problem.

Figured it out today. When connected to,the car, on the iPhone go to iPhone Bluetooth settings, click the little i to the right of "connected". And turn on "show notifications"
Now you'll hear the noise and see the message on the navi screen

This is different than what I had originally reported. I already have show notifications turned ON from the iPhone. In fact, I don't want any notifications to pop-up on the car display for incoming text.

My issue is that I can not hear any incoming text TONE.

The only way for this to work is to go into the Bluetooth settings from the car, and select "Disconnect as an Audio Player"... but I have to to this every single time the phone is paired.

not sure if this helps to give you an idea to play with... my Wife's RX is setup as follows:
her phone is connected only for calls, my phone is connected only as a audio player.
she can make calls on BT and i cant,
but i can play music and she cant.
i remember adding my phone as an audio player from the audio menu not the phone menu.
also you should turn "show notifications" off on the phones settings.
