I've got a strange issue with my wife's phone.  AT&T has been little 
help and I think it's because it's such an odd problem.  I cannot 
receive SMS messages from my wife's phone via bluetooth in either of our 
two cars.  I get them on my phone, they just don't come over the car 
stereo systems.  This only happens with SMS messages from her, I get SMS 
messages from everyone else over the car stereo systems.  This isn't 
device-specific.  It started when we both had LG G3 phones and after 
they were updated to Android 6.  I recently got an LG G5 and the problem 
was still there.  I returned the G5 because it was defective and bought 
a BLU Pure XL and also got one for my wife so she's no longer using her 
G3 and the problem still exists.  The BLU phones have Android 5.1.

After the LG G3 was upgraded to Android 6 (not immediately after but a 
short time after), my wife couldn't send me any SMS messages.  They 
weren't getting through to my phone.  I noticed that her phone was 
truncating the area code of my phone number. You can't send an SMS 
without an area code.  My contact was properly entered in her contact 
list with the area code.  When she typed the message, my area code was 
there and then when she'd press send, the area code would get 
truncated.  AT&T suggested to delete my contacts, clear the cache, and 
re-enter my contact on her phone.  After doing this several times, it 
cleared up the problem of truncating my area code and she could send me 
SMS messages again.  But the problem of not receiving the SMS message 
via bluetooth over the car stereo systems still exists.  If it was 
happening no matter who sends the messages then it might be easier to 
resolve but it's only messages from her.
