Since upgrading to iOS 16, I can’t use the “Hey Siri” function while driving (when hooked into Bluetooth). It just comes up with a car symbol.
When I turn Bluetooth off it works fine again.
What’s going on?
(I use an iPhone XS Max)

Hello Soundtech1,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It looks like while connected via bluetooth to car and then say “Hey Siri”, driving focus is turned on. That's why you see a car icon.
For more information about this feature, please check this out: Use the Driving Focus on your iPhone to concentrate on the road - Apple Support
To get started, please back up, and update your iPhone to the latest version iOS 16.0.3 as described in the following resource:
