No audible notification with iPhone 7

[trespinosranch]

When I have my iPhone 7 connected via wireless, I do not get audible notifications for text messages (just vibrate). If I am parked and use the iPhone to type a text message I do not get audible clicks from the keyboard. With the engine off, all is normal.

Is there a setting to keep the audible notifications on all the time?

You have to be on the right "channel" as in click on media, and then Bluetooth iPhone. If you are listening to music through Bluetooth, any notification will come in as a ding or whatever you have set on your iPhone.

I have an iphone6 and have the same problem. I could not find any settings to be able to hear the notification when you get a text message.

Yeah, but like you said you have to be streaming your music to your car. I'm usually on Sirius/XM, so that's not an option.

unfortunately, I have not found any other way to get around this issue. If you want to hear the notification you have to be in Bluetooth mode. I can't hear directions(MAPS) when listening to the radio.
