I am able to receive texts and emails via iDrive. Make sure that you shut down the mail app on your iPhone prior to synching with the car via Bluetooth (or as others have noted, you can toggle your mail notification settings).

That being said, all messages show up under the text message folder in iDrive. Has anyone been able to receive emails in the email folder (the one with the @ symbol on it)?

I tried installing update UPD01006, but that just made things worse by making all messages say that they are from "Sender Unknown." There were no other benefits to this update that I could find. I uninstalled it.

I have an iPhone 4S with OS 6.1.3 installed. My car is running version 3.4 of iDrive.
