    Sound Notifications not working with Bluetooth

    Hi All,
    Can anyone help me resolve the following issue
    IPhone X (IOS 12) connected to InControl Touch Pro via Bluetooth.
    I do not receive sound notifications for emails, text messages or any social media.
    I have checked the Do Not Disturb settings and these are OK.
    If I disconnect Bluetooth, the sound notifications work fine.

    On your iPhone, check that "Show Notifications" is on. This is in Settings, Bluetooth then click on the (i) on your Land Rover connection

    You need to select your phone as tue audio source in the car and turn on the sound system. All phone audio is routed over Bluetooth when it’s connected. Including notification sounds.

    Sound Notifications not working with Bluetooth

    Hi Simonh,

    Thank you for your prompt reply to my question.
    How do I select my IPhone X as the true audio source in my car and turn on the sound system, in respect of this?

    Await your reply.
    Thanks

    Pretty sure that EU legislation prohibits notifications from mobile devices when connected to a car unless you have onscreen notifications (which the Disco does not have). Some cars can read out SMS etc. I've had quite a few bluetooth setups and have never had any notifications via the car when the phone is connected. My watch on the other hand vibrates every time the phone gets an SMS, email or WhatsApp while the car is connected.

    As mentioned you can get round that by using the phone as the Audio source but frankly its pants when you do it that way. On the iPhone Xs it seems to re-index your media at random so when you go to Find there are multiple entries of the same Album, Song and so on. So bad I gave up and put everything on a USB stick. That's still not great but a lot better then Bluetooth Audio.

    Don’t think it’s anything to do with EU regs...

    Use Control Centre on your iPhone and select Music (normally this is top right). Tap the little blue ‘radar’ and then select sound output to iPhone not Land Rover. You’ll hear them on the phones speaker and phone calls will continue to be via the car. You need to do this each time the car connects to the phones Bluetooth though.

    But as you (I assume) have an Apple Watch, it will always notify you there instead. Unless you’ve changed the Mirror iPhone setting for each app, they’ll always be pushed to the Watch.

    Turn off or take off your Watch and they will appear on the iPhone again.

    With Apple CarPlay (ACP) you get messaging (iMessage and WhatsApp) notifications on the cars touch screen when ACP is connected even if you have an Apple Watch.

    Email will only notify you on the iPhone or Watch depending on your notification settings.
