Can anyone help? I have a 2017 CX-9 and I’m not able to view any of my iPhone 8 text messages from the infotainment screen. My iPhone is synced to the radio and phone
Unpair and delete the phone off MZD connect and then try repairing itIt’s is but still no texts, current or history

ok...will try again but I think I tried this before and it didn't work. Will let you know
No worries.
Otherwise take your vehicle to the dealer service centre and see if they can make it work.
Do you have an iPhone and can see your new texts on the infotainment screen?
I do (have an iPhone) and yes I do (receive my texts on the screen, more like the car reads them to me when in motion). It's hit and miss sometimes. I had an iP6 that worked perfectly, recently went to an ipX and it works perfectly. My wife has an ip7 and it won't work for some reason. I've unpaired and re-paired her phone and it still will not show messages on the screen. My next step is to update her firmware to the latest as I know it's older, then see if that works. You may want to check that also (firmware version).Do you have an iPhone and can see your new texts on the infotainment screen?
I figured it out guys and thanks for the comments. Here's what I had to do:
Settings
Notifications
Messages
Where it says "Alerts", I had to enable "Show on Lock Screen" and "Show in History". This ultimately was the piece to the puzzle that was preventing me from receiving texts through the infotainment screen. Now when I get a text in the car, it also reads it aloud...nice!
