Hi all,

Just wondering if any of you using the iPhone 5S are getting text messages pop up on your display.
My Galaxy S4 does display text mesages and reads them to me but when my wife drives the car her iPhone 5S does not.

Just wondering if it is a feature the iPhone can not do with this car before taking it back to the dealer.

BTW we drive a 3IS F-Sport with Nav

^ yep. clexusking is right. To get to that setting open up the bluetooth menu. Find your car, and tap on the little + sign to the right side of the bar, that will get you into where that setting is, and its the first one at the top.

i'm not sure if you're able to send canned responses like you can with android though, which sucks. Maybe they'll have that integrated into next update?
