Messages not downloaded from blue tooth phone to Multi-Media System

I have a 2020 4runner off-road. It has the full multi-media system with Android Auto. I have successfully paired my google pixel 2 to the system and indicated I wanted text messages available on the multi-media system. However, when I go to the multi-media system, the text messages option is grayed out.

Does anyone know how to correct this, or what I may have done wrong?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

 

Solved my own problem. Turns out you need to go into the bluetooth section of your phone and upload text messages to the android auto app. Then it all works.

 

Thanks for updating that! I have been having issues with my messages not uploading on my 2016 since I got it. I'm trying that!
