iOS 14 and CarPlay

Ever since I updated my iPhone 8 to iOS 14 music and podcasts played via CarPlay has suffered from static noise. Before the update I used CarPlay every day but I have stopped doing so on account of the terrible sound issue. Up until the update everything worked fine. The only thing that has changed is the software on the phone. I therefore assumed that it was an Apple-related issue. Sadly, Apple couldn't help me and referred me to the dealer as it, according to Apple, was a car issue. I then contacted the dealer who found themselves unable to help me as they deemed it an Apple-related issue (same logic as mine). I drive a 2019 Skoda Fabia. Anyone else who after updating to iOS 14 have experienced similar problems or know how to fix this extremely annoying problem?

If got the exact same problem. After some searching through different communities, I found a working solution for the Skoda Fabia 2019. I had to bring the car to a Skoda service partner to update the software of the head unit. The old version is 8742 and there is a new version 8755. According to my service partner this version is available since end of October 2020. It should fix various bugs related to android auto and apple car play. After the update everything works perfect.
