Notes for iPhone
Text Messaging functionality with compatible iPhones
is limited to Apple restrictions on what the radio can
access, e.g., text messages received prior to entering the
vehicle will not be displayed, and you cannot reply to a
text message.
“Show Notifications” must be enabled on the phone to
allow the radio to access messaging; to enable “Show
Notifications,” after pairing and connecting to the radio:
• On the phone, select “Settings,” then “Bluetooth,” then
“Properties” (either device-friendly name such as
“Sierra” or “Radio”), then turn “show Notifications” on
• Restart vehicle for connection to take hold
• Once set, it is retained for future connections
