It is also car dependent. You can display text messages from at least some models of iPhones with some models of cars. You may need to contact your dealer or see if your car manufacturer has more information on their website.
As far as I know, only some data between Apple devices can be exchanged via Bluetooth, for example contacts. No other Bluetooth profiles are supported than handsfree, headphones or keyboards, playing music etc.
I'm not sure what profile it is included in but my car does support displaying incoming text messages from my iPhone 5s.
Edit: it is the MAP profile (iPhone 4 and later) in iOS: Supported Bluetooth profiles - Apple Support
I used a Motorola Razr for years and this feature worked from day one when I bought my new car in 2010...Ford Fusion. Now, with an iPhone 6 no amount of tinkering with it will make it work....😕. Just thought I'd throw that in.
With my car, on the phone I go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the blue i in a circle beside the vehicle name to get to the vehicle-specific Bluetooth options. You've likely already tried that, but just in case.
