text messages no longer sync with car after 4.3 update

[todpike]

Before the 4.3 update to my Samsung Galaxy S3, my text messages would sync up with the bluetooth in my car. By this, I mean that I could read all of my text messages on the screen in my car. Now, after the 4.3 update, the text messages are not transferred to my car. I've tried:

• verified that MAP protocol is allowed after the phone pairs
• unpaired and re-paired the phone with the car
• deleted the phone entirely from the car and re-paired it

This wouldn't be as frustrating except that it used to work before the upgrade! This probably broke as part of the changes made to allow you to do all that stuff with the "smart watch" devices, but don't break things that worked before.

Any ideas on what to do to fix this? Thanks!

The same happened to me as well as the fact I now have to manually sync every time I get in the car...WFT??

I have been round and round on this issue also. Worked bf update fine.  Samsung basically said they don't care that I no longer have access to one of my "favorite" features.  I thought it was a great safety feature.  Bty I have tried older android phones that don't have update they still work as does the iphone.  They will not allow you to go back to older version etc. etc, and they don't know when or if their will be a fix for this. Verizon is not really helpful it seems like everyone just wants to pass the buck.
