I don't know if this is native to CarPlay itself or my alpine ILX-007 unit. I'm not getting any kind of audible notification for text messages. At first I thought it was because of my Apple Watch, since notifications are forwarded to it and tap my wrist. But no. I turned off my watch as a test. Nothing. Unless I go back to the home screen and see there's a badge, I don't know when a message comes in. Any ideas?

Hopefully someone else will have some input; however, from what I've read, I never see anything regarding audible notifications.

I have the same head unit and I don't get any audible notification either - though I do get a "new message from..." pop up on screen (tap takes to messages). This is a bit counter-intuitive imo - not sure if that's a carplay thing in general or Alpine's implementation of it. I'd have thought a "bong" followed by "hey siri.... read new messages" would have been the best/safest way to do things.
