Got the Lariat Lux love it so far but why can I only text back to the last text I have received. I have an Iphone11. Is it my phone or pickup? I would love to text to talk because I am usually on the edge of reception and text work better. What do I need to change?

Are you plugged in and using Apple CarPlay or are you just using a Bluetooth connection?

(Voice/hands free texting is allowed whilst driving) So the way around text to whoever you want by asking Siri to & contact name. I can only respond to the last message with my apple iPhone and I have xlt non-lux only lets me listen to the current messages if I don’t change the screen and answer quickly

Voice commands will probably work way better with CarPlay. Plug the phone in and give it a try. It's a game-changer.

Thanks for the help, if the phone is plugged in it will allow me to text. I only do text to talk and this helps immensely. I have an app with a rather intense mapping system and it works great if plugged in. Thanks to you, this old dog can learn new tricks!!!

Excellent! You are going to love Apple CarPlay. Operating your smart phone directly through the truck is the only way to go.
