Text Messaging Question

I have the wireless charging option on my vehicle and use an Iphone 10 with the latest IOS update. I do not use or want to use Apple Carplay. When I receive a text message on idrive 7.0 a banner drops drown from the top of the screen for a few moments alerting me to the text. Neither my phone nor Idrive gives me an audible alert. Is this normal? It is very easy to miss the text if there is no sound. After all I am not looking at the screen while I drive. Is there a work around on the phone or idrive 7.0? Thanks.

yes bc you shouldn't be texting an driving. CarPlay it will show non CarPlay it mutes your phone. its a safety feature
the only way you can work around it is to not connect it to the car. So turn off your bluetooth when your in your car and the phone will work as normal but won't work through the car

totally! I was just making a statement why it does that. They dont want you to text and drive. Wasn't saying you personally dont do it (even though you shouldn't )

No problem. I did not take your comments personally.
