Cannot setup Pop-up Texting

Hi,
I am new to this forum and a proud owner of a 2014 Forester which I purchased in October 2013. The Bluetooth Radio/Nav system worked fine for two months and then stopped. The dealer ordered a new radio in January and they just installed it yesterday. My phone paired, connected and received calls with no problem. However, I really really need text messages to pop-up along with the list of response options as it did before. I have the same phone, (Droid Razr Maxx HD), as I did before and it is HFP and MAP compatible.
The owners manual says to Hit Messages to Retrieve Messages and once I am in there I can adjust the Settings to allow the Pop-up texting. However, when I Hit Messages, I get "Messages not Retrieved" and hence I cannot get into the next screen to adjust the Settings. I don't particularly care to even receive the old messages but mostly want to advance to the next screen to access the Settings.
Any ideas?

Pop-Up Texting

Thanks for a reply. It seems that either no one knows what I mean, or don't know the fix. Grrrr. I really liked the pop-up texting. My family communicates that way 90% of the time and even if it can be annoying, I prefer to not have to pull over to see if it is important.
I'm not sure that the Service Department at the Dealer will be able to help. At least, not the one near me. They are more adept at the things under the hood. They need a tech person.

Pop up texting

If you find out more on this, please come back and update us all. The main thing that annoys me is that the Aha Radio app - which I love - only works every other time I start the car. If the Aha Radio button doesn't light up when I start that car - NOTHING can get it to unless I turn car off and restart. I've tried unpairing/repairing, deleting the app data and cache on the phone, etc. Nothing works except turning car off, waiting a second, and turning it back on.

Have you had the Nav upgrade? That is supposed to fix the AHA problem. I had the same issues as you and wound up deleting the app from my phone. Since I had the upgrade, I haven't tried it again. Too frustrating the first time around. I am really annoyed with this. I have waited a long time to get a BRAND new car and then paying extra for the bells and whistles that do not work!!
I am bringing my car in today to see about the Pop-up texting issue and I do not have much faith in it being resolved. I will let you know.
