    My Prius says incoming message from (Contacts Name)
    I can't figure out how to get my 2021 4runner to do the same thing.

    Have you paired your phone yet? Bluetooth connection is all you need.

    Oooh look, another mod.....
    Pair your phone to your 4Runner and make sure you allow the contact list/texts to be read. If you do that, then you will see "Incoming call from xxxx" on your head unit.

    Yes. The message shows up on screen.
    I like my Prius telling me who its from so I don't have to look.
    I hope its an option I am overlooking on my 4runner.

    Yes, you do have to explicitly give permission on the Android device, too.
