2013 2500 8.4a Nav won't display text messages

[2013megacab]

It is my understanding that the 8.4a Nav is supposed to display text messages from iPhones without having to have a uConnect Access subscription. My iPhone is connected. I can make and receive calls. But when, per the instructions, I press the PHONE button, I do not get an option for text. I have an iphone 6 with the latest iOS.

What am I missing?

I thought that having Uconnect Access was the only way to have the text on the radio screen. The last update I loaded allowed me to access Siri by pressing and holding the voice command button (the one with the face on it) for a second or two and you'll get the Siri tone. I do the text through Siri, but it only shows up on the phone. The radio screen would be nice though if it works without a subscription.

Go to your Bluetooth setting on your iPhone. Click on Uconnect, under there you will see Show Notifications, turn that on. Know you will be able to read/listen to incoming text on the 8.4 radio.

Doesn't work with Iphones, I switched back to a Droid, now it works again.

I know that sending texts with iPhone won't work. But I understood I could read/listen to them. I did as DArndal suggested. I'll try it and see if it works. Notifications was turned off.

Press and hold the phone button for Siri. You can do listen through her. Make sure you have the latest firmware.
