I have a 2017 GS 350 and i have an iPhone 10 running the most up to date version. Can i set up text messages to appear in one of my split screens monitors? I tried a couple times to activate something but it was not successful.

I have a 2015 and my Samsung paired phone notifies me of a message when driving and then, I can have them read to me. I did not do anything special to get that going.

By default, notifications aren’t defaulted to on for the iPhone so you need to go into Bluetooth settings and hit the “i” and ensure “Show Notifications” is turned on. Then you’re good to go. I also have “Sync Contacts” turned on - don’t remember if that was on by default or if I turned on when I had my 2013.
