How do I turn off “I’m driving” automatic reply?

How do I turn off the “I’m driving - Sent from my car“ automatic message in my iPhone 12? I’ve watched countless videos and none of them work. Come on Apple - how do I turn off this annoying message?!

How to turn off auto reply “I’m driving” I remember manually turning this feature on some time ago and now I’m on iOS 15 and i can’t figure out how to shut it off for the life of me. And I’ve already tried removing any driving features through Focus and it still auto-replies, sometimes even when I’m not even driving. It’s ruining my life. Someone please help me.

How do I turn off “I'm driving - sent from my car” message I contacted Apple about this, and they had absolutely no idea. This spontaneously started when I got a new iPhone, so I thought it was the phone. The issue is actually with my CAR! A 2017 Nissan Juke, but I gather the issue is very common with Nissans. It's an issue with the Bluetooth settings. Solution #1: While your phone is paired via Bluetooth, go to the home menu on your car screen. Go to Settings > Phone > Text Message. Under “Text Message,” turn off the “Auto Reply” switch. Solution #2: Unpair your phone from the car’s Bluetooth. Go to settings to turn off the auto-reply option. Pair your phone again. If you’ve followed the above solutions, they should keep the automatic reply off, but if they don’t work, you may need to do a factory reset. Here’s how to do that: Power off the entertainment console. Hold down the “1” button from the preset buttons while turning the volume knob counterclockwise. Within a couple of seconds, a service menu will pop up. Select “Confirmation/Adjustment,” then scroll to the bottom and select “Initialize Settings.” It will ask if you’re sure—select “Yes.” The system will power down for a minute, then come back on. This will erase your entertainment presets, so you’ll have to reprogram those. Connect your phone, change the auto-reply to “Off” again (from Solution #1), and it should stay turned off.

I would have given up after the second try.

Delete the Driving focus, it's been a mess for a while

Thanks but I’ve done that 5 times and it never works.
