Carplay volume decreases after sending text.

I have a 2024 Ram 1500. When I first get in my truck and have text messages read via CarPlay, the volume is at a good level. This volume level continues until I send a text. After sending a text, the volume decreases to a very low level. It lowers to a level so low I can barely hear the text being read. It also lowers the volume level of the trucks navigation system but does not affect the volume of music from the radio. This happens when connected via Bluetooth or lightning cable. I have unpaired and re-paired the phone (iPhone 13) several times. I have updated to the latest iOS 17.2. The only way to restore the volume level, is to go into the truck's settings and "Restart" the radio. Any suggestions?

iPhone 13, iOS 17

If anyone ever reads this, I found the problem. In the "Siri & Search" settings there is an option to "Automatically Send Messages". If this is turned on, the volume of the texts and navigation directions will be decreased after sending a text. Turning this setting off and restarting my radio has fixed the issue. After turning off the setting, the text messages and Navigation directions are all at the correct volume.

OMG! Thank you so much! I have been driving myself crazy trying to figure this out for months!! Didn't know if it was a setting on the Ram radio or the iphone. Been looking online everywhere for a fix and just found this post today. Thank you very much for sharing! I've changed the settings in my phone. Can't wait to see if it fixes it when I get back in the truck!!
