I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Seems to have no problem connecting to Apple Car Play, but so far every phone call I have received through Car Play has disconnected about about 30 seconds. If I disconnect Car Play and connect the phone via Bluetooth, absolutely no issues with phone calls. Anyone else having this issue?

How does it sound when you play Apple Music through wireless Car Play?

Wireless Car Play briefly establishes a Bluetooth data connection ... and uses that to negotiate a closed WiFi peer-to-peer connection between the phone and car. At that point all Car Play data between phone & car happen over WiFi. WiFi draws more power ... but is MUCH faster and more reliable than Bluetooth.

Also, where do you keep your phone when it's in the car? I always put mine on the center console (on the charging pad) and I've never had an issue.
