Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Driving Mode

I got my new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 this past weekend and love nearly everything about it. The only thing that I have a problem with is the "Driving Mode". Is there any way to disable this? I always wear my Bluetooth whether I'm driving or not. If I walk away from my phone, and the Bluetooth disconnects, when I get back within range, it reconnects in "driving mode", and if I don't manually tell it that I am not driving, it sends an auto reply to all my texts that "I am driving .I'll get back with you later.". This is starting to get very annoying very quickly. I've looked all over the settings and Language and Input settings and can't find a single option that says "driving mode". I would like to be able to place the phone in driving mode only when I'm actually driving. Please let me know if there's any way to fix this.

I had the same problem and found the solution. It's in the Message+ app. Open it and tap the menu icon on the upper left. Then go to Settings, then Driving Mode, then deselect your Bluetooth devices that appear with check boxes. Should do it!

We want your phone to work just the way you want HeeHawHoney! In review of my resources, I see that your phone is working as designed; however, you may be able to disable the Car Mode easily if you add a quick setting button for the Car Mode to the notification bar. See this link http://vz.to/1u7wpn9 for easy steps.

Thanks so much for your quick reply. I have already visited this setting, and the problem with this solution is that I still have to touch my phone to tell it that I'm not driving. Any other ideas?

I don't remember how I got into the editing portion of the driving mode (I think it was through S Voice somehow.) Anyway, I told it to delete my bluetooth from driving mode, and the problem went away. My bluetooth still works fine, but it no longer blocks my messages.
