When my Iphone 4 is synced to my truck, I don't get a notification tone from my phone when I receive a text message, it just vibrates. Anyone know how to fix this? According to the manual Iphone is not supported by sync for text notifications. I just want my phone to make the sound. Thanks

^^ iPhone text messaging does work with Sync. It will notify you and read the text message to you. I've recently start getting the message "this phone is not compatible" although it has worked previously. I think I need to do a soft reset by disconnecting the battery.

Agreed, before I updated Sync my text messages were recognized but now they are not. I have an iP5.

Hmmm.... I have an iphone5 as well but I think the text messaging was working after the sync upgrade. I'll try the battery disconnect later to see if that resolves my issue.

My 13 says that it doesn't support texting on my iPhone either. I wish it would.

Huh. Must be a limitation with iOS7 on iPhone 4. Good time to upgrade to v5 for cheap while all the fanboys scramble to get 5s/5c.
