Steve Mutter Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I have a 2009 flex with the touch screen nav system and I was wonder if there is any way to get text notifications to show in the screen with an iphone. My wife use to have a samsung galaxy s5 and it would show when you got a incoming text message but her new iphone does not. Just wondering if anyone has found a way around this.

8WA Sman Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I really have next to no experience with Sync and I know nothing about IOS but I came across this http://owner.ford.com/how-tos/solution-finder/your-vehicle/interior/center-console/sync-and-tech/myford-touch/phone-setup/text-messages/iphone/why-wont-sync-notify-me-of-my-iphones-text-messages.html Also make sure your old phone info is deleted from your Sync 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 It's not SYNC, it's the phone. My old Samsung Galaxy Nexus would not link texts, but our new Nexus 5 and Samsung Galaxy CORE LTE will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselD Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 yep Its the iphone. The wife and I both have Iphones along with sync in both of our 2011F250 and 2016Fusion. Neither will show you the text messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 My new 2016 Fusion displays and reads my texts. I am using an iPhone 6. It did not work initially until I turned on the notifications on the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 16 still has sync 2 in it and I have not been able to get it to display any text, notifications on or otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Let me refine my statement - I think it only displays a menu showing that there is a text, who it is from on my contacts list and a button to hear the text. The same menu appears on the right side of my instrument cluster. I don't think the 2016 Fusion has sync 3 but then, I have not looked at what version I am at nor do I pay much attention to anything SYNC related as I rarely run into the system working on trucks all day. Now that I have it I am sure this will change for me. And no, I am not bragging. Neener neener neener! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Oops..My bad..thought all the 2016 MY vehicles had SYNC 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Saunoras Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Is it wrong I have not sync'd my phone to my truck after having it almost a year? I'm really not sure about the gen I capabilities anymore, it's been so long since I've done anything sync related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
