Default Text on my screen issues

I had a samsung galaxy 8 paired to my 2022 SG . worked great . got calls and texts to my Boom box screen . just changed phones to a Goggle pixel 8 . now I receive only calls , no texts to the boom box , GRRRR. the phone works fine on my Nissan . Wondering if I have to return the phone for a different brand or if there is some sort of setting sort will work . yes I paired the phone , in fact I paired to my wife's HD trike and it doesn't work in that one either r. but works in her Nissan car as well as mine . Any input would be great .

I'd suggest going through your settings to make sure that your head unit is configured properly with the new phone. I envisage a cozy fireside reading session with your boombox manual....

when you received texts before, were they being displayed on the screen? i'm not so familiar with android auto, but with my apple carplay, when i receive a text, it is not displayed on the screen, but is read aloud to me. interacting with written texts seems like a recipe for disaster to me...

I don't know anything about Android but with iOS I have to enable "Show Message Notifications" in the Bluetooth settings for each device I want to receive messages on. There might be a similar setting in your new phone that didn't get turned on by default.

So again, did you look at the settings that are there to configure this capability?

I have a Pixel 7 pro. Go to your Bluetooth settings and make sure all the boxes are checked for your device.
