    None......Yet
    Hello Fellow Taco Enthusiasts,

    While connected to Bluetooth, my 2018 Tacoma TRD Sport won's issue a Text Message alert of any kind anymore. I have owned the Truck since July and it worked flawlessly, until 2 days ago.

    I have tried deleting the phone and adding it back, resetting back to factory defaults, deleting the Taco from my phone and adding it back...Nothing works. Phone is Huawei P20 Pro

    Thanks!

    What kind of phone do you have? Maybe the phone isn’t letting you see the text messages because you’re driving. My iPhone won’t let texts/ calls go thru when I’m driving unless I punch “I’m not driving” on the phone screen.

    Make sure the push notifications are turned on through the messages setting on your phone.

    I have found that if you have a lot of info on the phone, like more than a few open text messages, it will have a hard time receiving and alerting you.
    I save most of mine as they contain info I may need and provides quick response when I dont have to open a new text every time.
    Try deleting unnecessary emails and texts from the phone and then see what happens.
