Apple CarPlay and Texts

When I’m driving I get zero notifications of texts (not on my phone, CarPlay, or my iwatch). It’s caused me some serious problems with work. Anyone know how to make text messages alert audibly in CarPlay? I have Do not disturb on “manual”. Thx.

Did you activate the notifications on your phone? In settings/bluetooth/your car there must be a toggle switch

The simple answer is no. A brief "new message" will display across the bottom of the screen and simply disappear. If you are not paying attention you will miss it! There is no audible notification

Well I’m glad I’m not going crazy.

Nope, not crazy, either poor integration by BMW or an Apple CarPlay quirk. Knew things would go down hill after Steve Jobs death but still better than MicroSuck.
