Edgieguy Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 So I connected my phone and was surprised to see that text message reading is now gone. Anyone else experience this? Maybe its a the Android marshmallow upgrade that took it away? Im not sure when it exactly happened since I dont connect my phone everytime im in the car, just bummed that its gone after I had it. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 It's probably a phone setting. On the iphone you go into the sync bluetooth connection and you have to enable notifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
factor99 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I have marshmallow on my Android phone and it didn't cause any issues with the MFT reading texts. Did you factory reset? Maybe it changed a setting. Go to Bluetooth connections and click the gear beside Sync. Make sure it has access to your messages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Message notification is muted if you have turned "driving mode" to "on". Try turning off (click on messenger, then setting when app opens, and turn off). Try sending message to yourself while in car.

If you don't say yes, it automatically defaults to off. You may want to try pairing the phone with a clean connection and watch the phone closely at the end of the process.
