Hi everyone, I use IPhone 5S, try to set up messaging system on my 2017 Lexus NX 200t F sport. When I open set up-phone there are list of things that you can set up, but on "messaging" button is not light it up, so I cannot set up. My phone is connected and I can make a hand free call.
Do you think my phone is not compatible with the car device?

go into the Bluetooth setting on your phone, find your car, click the "I" with the circle around it. turn on the SHOW NOTIFICATIONS option.

Go under your Bluetooth settings and click the blue "I" circle info icon to the right of your hands free device - in the next menu, make sure the "Show Notifications" is "on". This should make your tests appear on the screen; however, unless Lexus has changed something, you will not be able to send messages through the car - only receive.

You can also check compatibility and features here http://www.lexus.com/MobileLink/

I haven't try how it work yet, so you said is only receive not to send messages?. So if somebody send me text i will show on the screen?

Yes, you can only receive messages, not send as there is some incompatibility - documented in the link I posted previously - does not work on my 2014 IS or 2017 NX. The incoming texts work fine - you will get a message on the screen asking you to load message - once you click "read", the text message will be spoken to you through the entertainment system.

you have to use SIRI or the android equivalent to send messages, Siri Eyes Free works just fine for this in my RCF

Can you tell me how to do it? with siri, any one ever try send text/ message on NX?

iphone6+ I press the voice button for couple seconds, say send text message to xxxxxx.
Siri comes on NX system and says, what do you want the message to say?
Then I say the message,
Siri repeats it, asks if ready to send, I say yes.

[TE=mjeds;9776677]This^^^^^^[/QUOTE]. I push down the off hook phone button for a second or two and SIRI comes on. Just say text message. It asks to who. Give name and what you want to say

when Siri comes up you can just say text XXXX 'what you want to text ' all in one go.

Are you referring to the buttons on the phone, or the steering wheel? If the phone, is that not illegal where you are?
