Possible solution
• Go to your cell phone's Settings.
• Go to the Bluetooth Menu.
• Press the blue circle to the right of the
device named SYNC enter the next
menu.
• Turn Show Notifications on.
Your iPhone is now set up to forward
incoming text messages to SYNC 3.
Repeat these steps for every other SYNC
3 vehicle that you connect. Your iPhone
will only forward incoming text messages
to SYNC 3 if the iPhone is not unlocked in
the messaging application.
Replying to text messages using SYNC 3
is not supported by iPhone.
Text messages from WhatsApp and Face-
book Messenger are not supported.
Your cell phone must support downloading
text messages through Bluetooth to receive
incoming text messages.
Because each cell phone is different, refer
to your device's manual for the specific cell
phone you are pairing. In fact, there can be
differences between cell phones due to
brand, model, service provider and soft-
ware version.
