Possible solution
Text messages from third party applica-
tions are not supported.
Your mobile phone must support down-
loading text messages through Bluetooth
to receive incoming text messages.
Access the text messaging menu of SYNC
to see if your mobile phone supports the
feature. Press the PHONE button and then
scroll and select the option for text
messaging, then press OK.
Because each mobile phone is different,
refer to your device's manual for the
specific mobile phone you are pairing. In
fact, there can be differences between
mobile phones due to brand, model, service
provider and software version.
Possible solution
Try switching off the device, resetting it or
removing the battery, then try again.
Make sure you are using the manufacturer's
cable.
Make sure you correctly insert the USB
cable into the device and the vehicle USB
port.
Make sure that the device does not have
an auto-install program or active security
settings.
Make sure you are not leaving the device in
your vehicle during very hot or cold
temperatures.
