SYNC3/iPhone question

My phone is an iPhone 6s, with the latest software update.....10.-something I think. Got all my contacts synced easily and it works great. But, for some reason I can't get the chime to work for text messages or emails. The settings in both the truck and the phone say they're on, but if I just have the radio on, the phone only vibrates at a text or email. However, if I am talking on the phone using the SYNC and get a text message, I can hear the chime beep in to the call. What am I doing wrong? I've tried disconnecting it, and setting it back up again.....same thing.

Thanks

I don't have my truck yet but I did have the problem on my wife's car. You have to set "show notifications" to on under Bluetooth settings (my devices) if you haven't already. It was off when I got my phone.

I have a Galaxy S6 and it all works fine. My wife has the IPhone 6 but I I haven't installed her contacts or tried it. I my go try it in a few minutes. If I do I will let you know.

My Galaxy worked fine but not my iPhone until I set "show notifications" to on under Bluetooth options. Works OK now but it may be different on the Super Duty.

I can listen to my text messages from my IPhone 6s on the Sync3, but when I try to reply Sync says "cannot find a number for that contact"
It only does this if a text comes from a contact, if the text comes from a non contact then there is no problem.

Any ideas?
