iPhone 5 works great with MFT

[Nairb4190]

I recently bought an iPhone 5. I was a little weary hearing some of the comments on here. Well, after 2 weeks I'm happy to report it is working with MFT better than my Android did.

Here is what works with 6.3.1

SMS text: yes


My wife and I both have an iPhone 4S. Is SMS Text the same as iMessage and if so how do I get the MSG to show up or read on MFT. Second question, her phone is the favorite in the system, every few days or about 250 miles she claims there's a prob with the truck can I chk it out and get gas while I'm at it, should my phone automatically connect when hers is not detected. I know it's been almost a week so I'm sure ill be "checking out" some problem today or tomorrow and will try the text feature out. Seriously no problems with truck or MFT I just don't get to play with it. Thx.

They are both the same. I have found the messages don't stay up on the main screen very long. I usually use the small right display to listen to the messages. Or I press the listen button on the main screen.

Lucky SOB. My wife's iPhone5 and mine quit working in our 13 Sport and then starting working again (kinda, hardly), a month later.

Had to get gas in wife's ex so I got to drive it. Both iPhone 4S's one with 6.1.2 one with 6.1.3 show text msg on MFT. It stays up for a few seconds with options and then it's only available on right side driver display. It will text responses but only the pretyped msgs. As previously mentioned need to turn on "show notifications" on iPhone.

Settings- Bluetooth
