iDrive 4.2 and iPhone Texts / iMessages

[NoPII]

I see that BMW now lists messages as "not compatible" with iDrive 4.2.

On my MY13 X5 texts showed up OK via bluetooth on iDrive and I could read them on the iDrive display.

Does this still actually work?

Reads them via Bluetooth on my '13 F30. Can't imagine the F15 wouldn't have that too.

iPhone 5, iOS7, bluetooth connected, F15: I can find the texts / iMessages if I go to messages, but they won't pop up on the screen. I am reading that the iOS7 update again broke compatibility with almost all cars, not just BMW. I find it very frustrating that apple refuses to play nice with anyone, and iOS7 has to be the worst update ever. I have never seen so many bugs and problems with an apple product.

Has anyone that recently received the F15 confirm if messages will appear on screen or HUD?

For me texts are working but emails are not. Go into the device in Bluetooth settings and make sure "show notifications" is switched on.
