Default iPhone Infotainment Text Features Don't Work - Any Solution???

Neither I or my dealer can get the text features to work through the Infotainment center with my iPhone 6. Phone is paired via Bluetooth.

Car is a 15 C7Z. Only thing we can get it to do is receive text messages. We can't reply to received message. When we try to reply to a received text by pushing the reply icon it says, Error, can't send text. It won't even let us reply to sender my using the contact by phone icon.

Current text messages on my iPhone don't populate the message list as well.

The iphone "Show Notifications" in the Bluetooth Chevrolet MyLink menu is turned on.

At the dealership we paired a non iPhone to my car via Bluetooth and all Infotainment features worked as they should.

I can't believe I'm the only one who is having this problem?

You aren't, I cannot get my C7 to even receive the text messages. They show up on my iPhone but not in the cars system. I have turned on the text message alert but still nothing. I read in the manual where it says to open the inbox icon but my icon won't light up to allow me to open it. Got me frustrated.

I have not been able to send or receive texts at all. They show up on the phone, but that's it. I've heard people say go to the microphone icon and it works fine. Well my 2015 3lt does not have that icon. My phone is the iPhone 5s.
