iOS 14.8 doesn’t sync messages with car

Hi PammyP90064,

Unpairing/pairing your iPhone with your car stereo was a great step to try!

We understand you do not have CarPlay as you mentioned it earlier, but the steps in the previous message are the next ones to take, including making sure your iPhone is up to date with iOS 15.

When you're ready we recommend taking all of the suggested steps: updating to iOS 15, checking with your car stereo manufacturer for a firmware update, and testing another iPhone with your car stereo if possible

If the issue remains afterwards, we recommend contacting Apple Support here: Get Support

Have a good one!

Hello PammyP90064,

While we're unsure of what you mean by your text messages not syncing with your car, especially since you mentioned not having CarPlay, we'd still like to help however we can.

You mentioned updating recently to iOS 14.8, but the latest version for your model is iOS 15. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. Just in case, here's a link that'll show how to first back up, then Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

What exactly did you mean by your messages not syncing to your car stereo? The more details you provide, the better equipped we'll be to assist.

Any steps tried so far? Here are a few examples: restart, testing another iPhone with your car, checking with your car stereo manufacturer to see if there's a firmware update for it

Please keep us posted on the details above when you're ready. Take care!
