Default Text messages possible on 08 is250?

Purchased a used 08 is250 and still getting used to the options. Have the navi and it says it does bluetooth but don't see an option for displaying text messages on screen from my Galaxy s4. Is this possible and if not is there software that makes it possible?

Well I guess this was such a dumb question it didn't even warrant a response.

The bluetooth in the '08 is just for handsfree calling -- no display of texts, no music. Remember that the electronics in your car were designed in 2005 (for the 2006 model year), which is before the first iPhone came out.
