Default Receive text messages

I’ve tried a search but admit I’m not great at it. I have a 2020 Limited and use iPhone. How do I receive text messages on my radio?

I have Android Auto, no whim....I can see alerts pop up that I get a text or a call. But you need a WHIM to listen to the text as mike says.

That's crazy...

My 14 6.5GT will read my texts to me while going down the road, through my speakers.

My 21 SGS does also with the jumper......if you have the WHIM you should already have carplay and should be good to go........carplay only works on UBS

Interesting. My 2020 RGS doesn't read it. Been a while, so don't remember what happens, just know it doesn't read my texts. I think the mic icon has an X over it. Android Auto.

My 21 works thru car play with Siri also as DSM. When I receive one, I can hit the message Icon and Siri will read it thru the speakers, then display the icon to reply .....of coarse I cant since I dont have a mic attached. I also think you might need to let Siri have access when the phone is locked .
