Radio Message

When driving my 15 F350 XLT every once in a while the music stops and when I glance at radio it says new message? it did it once when I started it and my phone was in he house, I assume it has to do with my phone but not sure how to check it,
thanks

I am assuming that the Dealer set up the Ford Sync system in your truck to talk with your phone via Bluetooth. Just push the "A" button on your steering wheel cluster and wait for the voice prompt. Say "Read Message" and Sync wil read you the text message.

Bluetooth has a range of 40-50 feet. My cell phone has been in the house and I have been able to answer it while sitting in my truck in the driveway.
Read the SYNC section in your owners manual - it describes the system and all of the other tricks it can do.

Ah thanks, I bought truck used with 7600 miles, I paired my phone and got that to work, when the message comes up I am normally already driving then I wonder about it, after getting home I forget to read manual, now I repeat this 3-4 times weekly for 6 months
