Default Cell phone text messages not syncing with Samsung Note 5

Hello,

I have a 2016 GX460 and I have been trying to get the text to sync with my Samsung Note 5 but no luck, the texts display whenever they want and never consistent. I have unpaired the phone and the car, removed the phone from the car and I have even reset the Nav and my phone but no luck. Also I have deleted all my texts and have waited for the system to download all the texts.
I have called 3 dealerships and Lexus Corporate and no one knows anything. So I'm reaching out to you all and see if anyone knows how to fix this issue.

Thank you in advance

Check with a technology specialist at your dealer. I have an I Phone 6S+. I know how to do it with
an I Phone, but not an Android....

When you get texts, do you actually get the complete text or is it just the notification a text message has been received and by whom?

Go to settings/Bluetooth, when you see your GX on the Bluetooth list, there will be an i to the right of it, tap on the i and turn notifications on. It will light up green and you're done.

Hey Craig B I get the texts but not all the time it's a hit and miss and the email I have not been able to get at all let me ask does the phone have to be lock in order to receive all text?
Thanks again

I receive all my texts, you might ask your technology specialist at your dealer. There Is a firmware update for the navigation system that I need to have installed on my car at my next service visit. The dealer said the update will help with pairing on my phone. Sometimes it doesn't connect when I start my vehicle, not very often, but it has happened...
