Want to get messages on my dodge vehicle, however when I pair the phone to the car, under bluetooth, it has uconnect, but does not provide an option for notifications. How do I get text messages to my car display?
iPhone 12
Hi Shooter1975,
Based upon the details you provided, we wanted to continue ruling out some other possible causes:
Cheers.
Got a 2021 Ram 1500, same problem with my IPhone 12 Pro Max. My previous dodge didn’t have the message feature. My iPhone has iOS 14.5.1, I have the 12” Uconnect in the truck. Everything is working except messages, it’s grayed out. Going to try to pair my sons iPhone 8 Plus. My sons phone connects, but doesn’t allow for messages either.
If you click on the grayed out messages, a pop up comes up. It says, feature not available due to device settings. I’ve checked my device settings and have not found the issue yet.
Hey there Shooter1975,
Let's team up to help answer your question about sending/receiving text messages with your car stereo.
If you're using CarPlay, here are the steps to Send and receive text messages with CarPlay.
If you're instead using a regular Bluetooth car stereo, you can also use Siri for some commands. Check out the section 'Reply to a message' here: Send and receive text messages on iPhone
Take care!
Based on your questions...
On the XR phone if you go into Bluetooth and click on the "uconnect" (which is the car firmware) it has the option of notifications on or off. On the iphone 12, when you go to bluetooth and click on "uconnect" it does NOT have the option for notifications.
Not sure what else to try or check
Thanks!
I'm not using Car Play
Trying to use the stereo, when I connect my wife's iPhone XR via Bluetooth, on the stereo, I get all options including messages. When I connect my iPhone 12, the message option is greyed out, and if I click on it, error message on stereo comes up saying "this phone is not compatible with bluetooth messaging"
