Default Text Messages On Display Screen

Does the NX200T display incoming text messages on the screen when its received? I can click on the text icon on the screen and see previous text messages but I am never notified on screen when I receive a new message unless I look at my phone. Is there a setting I am missing?

it works for me for both texts and emails via my android phone. The dealer set it up for me when I picked up my car.

Check the Navigation System manual starting on Page 311 for all of the message features and settings. Do note that many of the functions are not available while the vehicle is moving.

For non-navi NXs, the answer is no.

Thank you I will check it out once I leave work. I have an S5 so I figured it would work

Once you get the car system set up you still need to make sure one more setting on the phone itself is set (iPhone 6).

On the phone go to Settings > Bluetooth > Lexus NX > tap I (information) Make sure Allow Notifications and Sync Contacts are in the ON position. Once I made those adjustments it started working perfectly.

Then when receiving Texts the alert sound comes through the NX's audio system. If the car is not moving you can read the message. If the car is moving you can hit Play and listen to the message.

Hi,

Are the notifications supposed to come in on the multi information display (ie, the display in the instrument panel) or only on the multimedia display?

Thanks.

What about incoming phone calls? Do they show up in the instrument cluster?

Yeah, I don't see that functionality either, but according to Lexus, incoming calls should show up on the Multi Information Display, "The full-color LCD display within the gauge cluster allows you to quickly and easily read the data you need for optimum performance. In addition to basics like drive mode, shift position and odometer information, this on-dash display offers multimedia linkage so that you can view incoming calls, current song titles and more."

It actually does show up on the Multi Information Display for me. I havent adjusted any of the factory settings for this, but if you arent seeing it you may want to check your manual for options or your dealer

Thanks for the replies. Will have to double check and have my wife call me when I'm on the road and see.

It's possible that I haven't been called yet while on the road - just not sure. Only had the car for about a week and a half or so.

Thanks again.
