i believe once i updated my firmware to NBTevo_P, this enabled my CarPlay text tone notifications. if i'm in carplay mode and listening to any app ie Pandora, Spoitfy.. if i get a text now i see the banner and hear the text tones coming from my stereo.
this is just awesome .. i've been trying to figure this out for a few weeks and just realized it was resolved from updating the idrive firmware.  |
I don't think your software update had anything to do with hearing an audible notification when you get a text. I think it has to do with the "silent" switch on the side of your phone. In my case, I usually keep my phone in silent mode 99% of the time (using the switch on the side of my iPhone 6s). One day I had silent mode turned off and I noticed I an audible tone from the car speakers when I got a text - the same text tone I would hear on my phone when not connected to the car. Unfortunately, I could not figure a way to keep my phone on silent mode and still hear an audible notification when I get a text when in the car.
