Q: Can't setup text forwarding to bluetooth compatible auto

My new Lexus RX350 offers text messaging via Bluetooth.  My iPhone 6 paired/registered successfully with the auto and I can make/receive phone calls and play music; however, I cannot get text forwarding to activate as it does not "see" the car as a location to which forwarded texts can be sent.  I've tried unpairing and restarting then trying to re-register the phone but the same thing keeps happening.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks.

    I've not seen the need to set the vehicle as something to forward texts to. Once you pair the vehicle, the vehicle has to support MAP to be able to handle messaging on the device. You would need to check with Toyota to see if the Lexus supports MAP.
