Default Check text and email feature no longer available

Has anyone else run into this issue? Previously, the car would notify me when I received a text or email while driving, and I could have it read them to me. It now no longer does that, and acts like the feature never existed.

If you have an iPhone and you just updated the software it could have been changed back. You have to go into the Bluetooth setting and change it.

I'm not sure why Apple does that. So weird. But to continue what bigblack06 is saying, find "LS500" under bluetooth, click the circled "i" and turn on show notifications.

I have Android rather than Iphone, but I fixed it. Had to turn the bluetooth on my phone off and then on again, as well as turning messaging feature on again in phone menu on car. Thanks for your suggestions!
