Phone/Messaging Integration Settings
This is regarding page 327 in the 2014 Lexus IS manual. Chapter 5-10 Phonebook.
Under Messaging settings...
Does anyone out there have this menu? I looked on my car today and I don't have it, and I can't seem to find it? I have an IS 350 with Mark Lev.
Also, there were some reports of being able to play back DVDs on here, but when I put in a DVD, I hear the audio, but have no video?
Thoughts?

Im not sure as far as the Messaging thing...
But with the dvds you have to have your emergency break engaged then the video will show on the screen Also just make sure you select disc out of your media source. Hope it works!

Not listen to them, no, according to the manual incoming texts and emails should be displayed on the screen much like an incoming call. However the menu to set that up appears to be missing. I've linked it below for those who may not have the whole manual handy.

I didn't have to set anything special up to receive text messages on my navi screen. All I did was pair my phone to the Bluetooth, then when I get a text, the notice shows up on the screen. I can either read or disregard at that point. Nothing other than pairing needs to be done.

I am using an iPhone 5, but that has no impact on this screen or the settings in that particular menu.

Is your dealer near you? If so, don't hesitate to use them as a resource. There have been some issues with my setup and any time I have had a problem or question, I just drop in and their tech specialist will sit down with me, and we'll work through the issue and get it resolved. (Special nod to Lexus of Seattle, you guys rock)

Not sure if this helps, but the tech specialist at my dealer said that it's best to un-pair then re-pair your phone anytime you have an OS upgrade. The iOS upgrades on my iPhone would knock out one or two functions, that I wouldn't notice right away. Then I'd re-pair my phone and it would work again. Worth a shot, at least.

For the iPhone...
Go to Settings.
Then Bluetooth.
Next to 'LEXUS IS', there's a blue 'i'. Click it.
Turn on 'Show Notifications'
For Androids....
It asks to enable MAP (messaging access profile) when you initial set up the phone to the vehicle. If you didn't do this the first time. Remove the phone, and add it again. Just pay special attention for pop ups on the phone while pairing.
That's it. Be sure to do this before getting into the vehicle, otherwise you will have to turn the car off then back on. Hope this helps.
