On my 2014 ST, The only thing that does not work, is that my text messages don't show up on the Ford sync nav screen. It has a message that reads "Text messages are not suported by this phone" I have a Apple I phone 4 S. I did call Ford to make sur that my phone settings and operating system was compatible, and it is. I also called Apple and whent over everything with them. I also asked the dealer about it. They said just that sometimes it does not seem to work. So any one have some suggestions?
Thanks,
Ron

Your phone does not support this particular feature, but is otherwise supported. Upgrade to an android phone and you'll get the text messages too.

You have to sync your phone with the ford system. Then go to your iPhone's settings>Bluetooth>Sync>i>turn notifications to On.
Turn car and system off. Turn on again and wait for phone to sync again. It should work from there.

you bit.. too easy!

You'll get a notification, but it won't display the body of the message. The car can read it to you, though.

I'm pretty sure it clearly states on the screen "this feature is not supported" when you try to enable text messages via bluetooth. I'm not sure why you're surprised they aren't showing or think there is some fix. The error message seems pretty clear...

The iPhone 4S is not supported for text messaging with synch for myford touch. The iPhone 5 and newer are however. This is straight from Ford's compatibility page at: SYNC and Phone Compatibility | SYNC Support | MyFord Touch | Ford.com

Eh... my iPhone 5 doesn't work either. My previous two android phones also did not work, I purchased my iPhone hoping it would. IMO, the text message portion of sync is broken and should just be removed.

 

[JohnnyCanuck]

I have the iPhone 5S. It used to say "this feature is not supported" until I went into the Bluetooth<sync<i<turn on notifications. Works like a charm now. Can have the car read it out to me or choose to view the body of the message on the screen.
What I don't think will work is sending a reply to text though.

My radio used to display the txt msg's and then you had the option to listen to them. Now Sync does not pick up incoming txt msg's. I have HTC Android.

 

[focusedintntions]

reboot your phones after they connect to the car and have them resync....

 

[peoples1234]

Text messages worked both with my S3 and my new LG G2. The prompt to listen to them however usually goes away quicker than I can get to the screen. I am sure there is a way to get to them through Sync, but I have not bothered to learn how yet.

 

[JohnnyCanuck]

Using sync... "Listen to message one".
