Anybody get their iPhone 5S to work with auto text or for that matter just displaying text messages with the new info Center software upgrade.

No offense, but wouldn't that be counterintuitive?
I'm not an expert, but that just seems like an activity for after you stop and park. Just my $.02

Do your texts show up with the text on the screen when you get them or do you have to go into the inbox to view them? I'm only getting the little icon at the bottom when a new one shows up.

I've always only gotten the icon. You have to go over to the Inbox to see them and have them read to you. I wish you could create a favorite or a shortcut or even touch the icon to go right to the SMS inbox.

Auto reply under the current iOS is not available. It's a matter of Apple allowing a 3rd party to push/create new text messages to it. I'm hoping that with iOS 8 that it might work as Apple has indicated they want to integrate more with outside manufacturers to allow such things. I have a friend with the beta but we haven't gotten around to trying it out yet.

What's the icon look like. I don't think mine shows it, yet there will be messages in the SMS box.

Or just pop up a notification with a button to read it to you so all you have to do is hit the accept button.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet that they still don't allow it. It prevents rogue apps from using it to send text spam.

The icon is just a little envelope along the bottom row of icons where the bar and shield and such live.

A pop-up that allowed you to listen would be perfect.
