iDrive System and the iPhone7

Hello
Ive just joined the forum and need help with my 2 week old 640d and connecting to the iPhone7 through the iDrive system. I am new to BMW and this system. I have read as much as I can on the forum but I have had no luck so far with the suggestions. There is much I can't get the system to do but first things first. Could anyone help me with the Text Messages function. When I click the 'Messages' function in the 'Communication' portal all I get is a blank screen with 'No Text Messages' The manual explains that I should see my tests and have options to have them read aloud and options to reply etc. I asked my local BMW dealer, where I got the car, Bavarian in Belfast NI, and was told the fault is with iPhone's security system and that it cannot be used with the iDrive system. Could anyone help. Many Thanks

Go to your bluetooth page on your iphone.
Hit the little I symbol to the right on the Bluetooth ID of the BMW
Select "show notifications"
Should be good to go
Seems to be hit or miss with Iphones though
