CarPlay with Apple Music

When using Apple CarPlay the music app is continually crashing. The only thing that I found that works is to put CarPlay in the split screen where you see for example the Maps app on the left side and the music on the right side. Then start music playback on the iPhone and it does display the song and allow you to skip songs and pause. However, If you touch the music app on the car display to go full screen it crashes the app. I even tried reset all settings on my iPhone and I continue to have the same problem.
