Sync issue

Other day the radio stopped receiving text message notifications. I deleted phone, repaired it to sync, master reset sync still not working. Receives phone calls ok.

Any ideas? 4inch regular sync.

If you reset sync check to see if receive texts is selected in the phone settings. I think by default it's off

Been having that recently. Not sure if it’s the phone or the truck. I check it after I start my truck. It just takes s second. It’s been the truck every time.

If you are using an iPhone check the Bluetooth settings and make sure notifications us set to on.

This ^^^^ Notifications was turned off on my phone the other day, I am assuming from some Apple Update. I turned it on and text messages came right back.

Have Samsung s9 (android). Old job gave me a iPhone once years ago, and plugged it in computer and reprogrammed android on it as its OS lol.

I'll tinker with settings on phone before going to dealer. Tried updating sync, but says up to date.
