I was wondering if you guys are able to get SMS displayed on your screen. Mine worked when I first got the car but for some reason I am not getting them anymore. It has been a few months. I tried un-pairing pairing nothing worked. Any ideas. I am using Samsung Galaxy S3

have you updated the software for either the car or phone?

Mine never has worked at all Nokia N8

You need a bluetooth module to get SMS displayed on your screen . It's funny though because you said you used to see the sms in your screen

Blackberry owners are lucky because as far as I know they can see their sms in the screen w/o any module or device

mine does the same thing. When i first got my Galaxy S3 the SMS was working on the Command. Now i can't see it at all.

That's correct, also we can set up internet for COMAND without downloading any module.

Hi mitaka, I am having the exact same problem! I was able to connect when I first got the car with my s3 and now it doesn't. I have you managed to resolve the issue?

anand81uk

Same for me, did you have any luck resolving this?

I have a Droid Bionic. It's kinda the luck of the draw...some times the text data will link up, and sometimes I get a screen message stating that it failed.

I've tried different S3's in my car and it has the same problem with the SMS not showing up. I also tried my phone in a 13' w12 and the same thing happens. I could live with that fact that maybe it's not compatiable but it was working when i first got the phone, and its on the phone list on mbusa's website... called Samsung they have no idea. I had my techs look at it, they have no idea..other phones worked though eg. Droid Razr..

For me it stopped displaying after upgrading my old Samsung S2 Skyrocket to android 4.0. GL!

Tomspo04

Well, I just got a software update for my Motorola Droid today and now it won't sync text anymore. Before the upgrade it would sync about 60-70% of the time.

Hi,
I was having the same problem with my S3 but after an update to it yesterday to the latest android it all now works

Tomspo04

Good to hear it's working for somebody!!! . Guess I'll have to wait for the NEXT update before I'll even have a chance at getting mine to link again!

This happened to me with my CLS and Galaxy S2 when I was upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich. I also lost access to my contacts and could only dial recent incoming/outgoing contacts. I did a hard reset of my phone, and texts/contacts started working again. A month or two later, there was an interim update to ICS on my phone, and the same issue occurred again! I tried EVERYTHING including deleting the phone from my car, deleting my car from the phone... I even read online somewhere that clearing the data for the bluetooth app might help. No dice.

I refused to reset my phone yet again, so I just left it. I just recently got the Galaxy Note II, and now all is well again. I think if any updates get pushed to my phone, I will unpair the phone first before applying the update and hope this issue doesn't happen again.

....soon as I saw that this problem with text message and Samsung Galaxy S3 is adresed at MB World I was sure that I will find my solution.......but....what a surprise.......
Fact is that I am not alone in having/than not having messages displayed on command unit...but hope that some good man/women is going to type the solution

I have a 08/11 built E-350 and yes the texting works with my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5. This is through Bluetooth..
Important Note: It worked only after Apple upgraded to IOS 6.

I was able to get SMS messages to work with my 2013 and iPhone5 after enabling notifications in the bluetooth settings on the phone. Not sure if Android has a similar option but it may be worth checking out.

Here is a picture for reference.

Anyone with a galaxy S4 get text messages to show up? Like everyone else mine used to work till I got the latest update from Verizon. Android 4.3.

GregTR

Rooted T-mobile Galaxy S4 4.2.2 shows SMS just fine.

PeterUbers

I got mine to work on iPhone 5, thanks
