Display text messages on screen. HELP!!

Not a major issue this, but I have been told by JLR dealer that it is possible for text messages to automatically display on the screen when they come in through a Bluetooth connected phone.
I have tried everything I can think of to make this work and failed miserably.

SIMPLE QUESTION, fellow DS drivers - has anyone been able to get their iPhone 6 running iOS8.2 to show up incoming text messages on the DS screen?

It may be that this has been disabled as a safety thing and if so, that's fine......but I would really like to know it is NOT possible so I can stop trying! :lol:

Thanks, Lofi. I just repaired everything, and followed the LR instructions to the letter, enabling notifications, scrolling etc etc. The only thing I can find that is inconsistent is that JLR give instructions for iOS 8.1.1 and the most recent version of iOS is 8.2

Still shouting "HELP"!!

Stoopid me! It DOES work, but only for conventional text messages. It doesnt work for iMessages on iPhones. I should have guessed!
For anyone else out there with the same issue as I had, sorry - you need to de-select imessages on the in-car phone and/or have the sender only send messages as texts.
Duhhhhhhh!
