I don't have a video but I also had trouble. At the dealership we had to go through the settings a couple of times before it took. While paired to the car, go to settings, Bluetooth, and then the little info (i) beside Lexus Is. See if the show notifications is still green. Mine kept switching off for some reason. If Its not green, try turning Bluetooth off and switching it to green. then turn Bluetooth back on. If it is green all I can suggest is try the forget this device and try it over again.

Yes, but it still doesn't work. I'm not losing any sleep over it, though.

Had my alert style on banners. Maybe this will work now. Thanks for the tip!

I also hate how when I connect iPhone via USB, bluetooth does not work, and I keep getting errors when media is set on iPod. My Lexus Enform Pandora also gives me nightmares and headaches!

Sorry to bring this thread up but anyone else out there with an iphone 5 or 5S still having issues with text messages not displaying?

I have been through every possible setting and I just cant figure this out.

I have IOS 7 also tried my Wife's 5S and hers wont work either.

I guess my next stop is the dealer.. such a small thing that I hate to take it in for.
