Default Solution to iPhone syncing text messages problems

I have a 14 street glide special. IPhone 5s on 7.1.1
I was getting the error message that the iPhone would sync to messages ( forgot the exact wording)
Here is the solution:

Delete Pairing and re-pair your phone
On your phone when it says connected click on the blue information icon circle to the right of "connected"
That will take you to the next page which starts with forget this device
Underneath that it will say show notifications. enable that notification button and the one under that says sync contacts.

THIS MAY HAVE TO BE DONE WHILE YOUR BIKE IS SAYING SYNCING MESSAGES
IF YOUR BIKE SAYS COULD NOT SYNC BEFORE ENABLING SHOW NOTIFICATIONS, YOU MAY HAVE TO START OVER

on my bike phone favorites, phone recents and all contacts have checkmarks next of them

At this point your bike should say it has sync messages and should take you to a message screen where you can read your messages but it will be blank at this time until gets a new message

After receiving a new message it read it out loud over the speakers and it was preceded by a beep that let me know I have a new message
I was working on this in my garage and my the dial was in the a/c position

I hope this helps

Great info! I just did the notifications thing while it was still connecting. Works perfect now.

Do you have to do this each time it connects?

Yes you have to turn on notifications. Mine works great since activating it!

This worked like a champ! I have been trying to get my messages synced for months. It worked on my old iPhone, but not my new one. Until now. Thanks!
