Press Done.
Note
- The message function must be activated in certain phones.
- If contacts and messages are not shown in the car despite activation of the function, disconnect the phone and then reconnect it.
- Not all phones are fully compatible and may therefore not show contacts and messages in the car.
Note
If the phone's operating system is updated then the connection may be broken. In which case, delete the phone from the car and then connect again.
