Q: UConnect 8.4 won't support messaging with iPhone 6

I Have a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and an iPhone 6. I have it paired to bluetooth, with no problems at all EXCEPT I can't use the messaging feature on my radio to message from the v to text function provided by my car.  Is there anything I can do to

    Some have reported recently that if you go into Settings > Bluetooth > click the info button next to your UConnect device you'll see a 'Show Notifications' switch. Turn it on and see if it helps. I tried it on my 2012 Ram but it didn't work so no guarantee this will work on yours.

    I found that doing the above enables the message notification which you can "Listen" but the reply button is grayed out so it's a one way conversation unless you can ask Siri to 'text name' and say your message, then send.

    Yes this did work.  I sent a text message this am through my Uconnect 8.4 (2016)!  I did find out that Apple does support Bluetooth Map.  I also have an Iphone 6.  Not sure if older Uconnects or Iphones work but I'm happy to say that I can do it now with the above fix.  Thank you!!
