iPhone iOS 7 - SMS / Office

Hi, looked for a thread, and nothing, so I'm wondering if this is just me.

On iOS6 SMS messages appeared in the office / messages area, during the Beta of iOS7 right up until Beta 5 it worked fine, then it stopped.. same in Beta 6, and same in the final released version.

Anyone else seen this? or fixed it? Tried pairing etc.. On the bluetooth options, I no longer see Office as an option for the iPhone.

I have emails working with iOS 6 and don't want to upgrade if 7 will break it. Has anyone been successful in getting office and messages to work properly with iOS 7?

Hmmmmm.. now I'm confused then. I've deleted it, repaired it and nothing at all, no sms any more.

Wonder if there is a bluetooth update to apply, will have to check that

Could someone let me know what the latest firmware is please? For some reason the site is saying my VIN is invalid

All works for me: email and SMS on iOS7. Firmware in car hasn't been updated for over a year.

You get email working every time more quickly now by double-clicking home and "throwing out" the email app (killing it). After you've done this, the next email you get will come through.

Emails still all get categorised as SMS though



I posted some troubleshooting steps before on what you can check if it's not working. Will try to find and re-post

iOS 7 Messages in car

I didn't even know this was an option. I just got my new x3 yesterday. I look forward to getting this to work.
Great feature
