I hav a iphone xsMax. Does not work in Buick Encore. Since the update of 16.4 I can not receive any text messages on the infotainment system in the car. Everything worked perfectly before update. I spoke to apple and no one could come up with a solution. At times the calls do not come through either. I can not make a call when I am driving ( all my phone settings are correct). I have done a reset on my phone, reset the network settings, made sure all settings are correct, disconected from bluetooth, deleted all bluethooth connections and started a new bluetooth connection. Phone works perfectly when not connected to a car. I tried using my old iPhone and it connectedly perfectly. All messages and calls came through. This phone has iOS 15.

I need a solution FAST!

Did anyone ever find out if this was resolved? I'm having the same issue in my Buick Encore but I only acquired the vehicle in early August of 2023 so this feature has never worked. It alerts me to a call only when the call is missed. It flashes on the dash screen for a second and stops my music but at that point the call has been missed. My watch doesn't alert me to a call either. My phone works when the vehicle is not on. It does this if I'm in park or driving.


I spoke with tech support this morning but they didn't have any suggestions other than updating my software. I spoke to 2 different reps. The first one said she wanted to try and call me back to see what happens after doing nothing but checking to see if I had a focus on. I of course missed the call and had to call tech support and speak to a different rep. He was the one who advised to update the software on my iPhone but I have updated my software at least once after I purchased the vehicle and it still didn't work. This is extremely annoying to have people call and I play phone tag with them.
