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.
