I can recieve texts just fine on my iPhone 5 on ATT with iOS 7.03. I have iMessage on. It will only show you texts that you received after you turned the bike on. It wont load your inbox. It won't send out on auto reply however.

The Apple IOS will not allow an auto reply. They don't even have an app for it. Auto reply works great if I use my Galaxy S3, but the Iphone will not.

Not sure, but I would check the volume setting level under the notifications section.

Mine worked as well today! I think the key for me was after it sync'd I had to go into the Bluetooth function on the phone and turn on the sync in that menu. Now it does show the icon when a text comes in while riding. I had hoped it would display the message so the wife could text "emergency" if she needed me to stop right then and call. Instead I told her to call and I would answer the call and then told her to just say call me now. Since I can hear her thru the bike speakers this should work as a way to get me to stop right then and call her back.

On the other hand an incoming call WILL show up on the screen. Can be answered if wearing headset. Perhaps have them call twice in a row if an emergency and you don't want to wear the headset.
I've heard multiple people say that you CANNOT view/hear text messages while riding (i.e. only when you're stopped).....yet I've also heard people talk about receiving texts while riding. So which way is it supposed to be? The owner's manual does not say anything about needing to be stopped to get texts???

I have iPhone 5 on Verizon. Just got my Street Glide Standard today. When I have the ignition switch on accessory I can read and hear the texts read to me. When the engine was idling in neutral, however, I got nothing.
