Im mot a fan of the txt feature as if you not on the ball it pops up and goes away. If im not paying attention i never know i got a txt as when the truck gets the txt my notification on my phone acts as if ive read it. Both the call and nav volume will go up and down with the steering wheel and volume **** imput. I honestly havent used nav since i bought the truck in september. I did attempt to use it and it was as clunky as my wifes 2010 expedition. Ill keep using Google maps on my phone personally. Ive yet to use vallet mode. Im the only one thats driven it since i bought it. If im going somewhere that there is a vallet i plan not be in my truck. I dont trust people enough i guess.

I take mom to a bunch of doc visits at hospitals in the city. It's a huge pain in the *** to not vellet. They usually leave it right there in the front everyone is afraid to drive it.

I think to allow txt, the setting is on the phone. I seem to recall under Bluetooth settings I had to enable notifications. I use an iPhone.

I just push the talk button and tell it to read me my messages. Works like a charm.

A lot of capability is the phone itself. Some phones can't be used or limited capability.
