How to turn off I’m driving auto text message

I just got a new iPhone 15 plus and it keeps sending the auto driving message even though I have completely deleted the driving focus. I was able to turn it off on my old iPhone but can’t seem to do it on this one. Any help?

Text messages showing on 2018 Toyota Sienna I have an iphone 11. Several month ago my text messages stopped showing up on Toyota screen. If I was driving I had the option to play the message. Now I get a quick notification that a text was received but no option to play it. I have to stop in order to read it on my phone or look for it on the car screen. The Blue Tooth "expert" at my dealership hadn't a clue why this was happening other then to blame it on an update. How can I get my texts to show up on the car screen again with the option to "play" it while driving.

Do not disturb while driving I have selected turn off do not disturb as I DO NOT want it to auto reply. I have auto reply turned off as well, yet it continues to send a message when I’m driving and receive a text. I have tried turning it on and back off, I have tried deleting it. Nothing works to stop it from auto-replying. Please help!!! I have an iPhone 13, not 5s like it states.

CarPlay Message won't pop-up after iOS 18 update After installing iOS 18, text messages don’t pop up on the car's home screen like they did prior to the update. I have go to the CarPlay application to see the pop-ups. Evidently, it's a deliberate change that Apple made, which is extremely annoying and puts the driver's safety at a higher risk. We now have to click additional screens to put CarPlay in front just to see notifications that used to be there without any extra steps. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Try adding the Driving focus mode again (Settings > Focus) and set "While Driving" to "Manually" (in Settings > Focus > Driving Focus.)

That didn’t do it. Any other suggestions?
