Home key exits Google Maps navigation and interupts Spotify when using CarPlay

iOS14.5.1, iPhone 8, 2018 KIA.

Just updated iOS. Using Spotify in car with CarPlay via USB, if I press the Home Key to switch apps, music pauses and car radio comes on for 3-4 seconds, then Spotify resumes.

Also, navigation in Google Maps is interrupted, and my destination will need to be re-entered!

It behaves almost as if the USB is disconnected or the Bluetooth kicks in. This did not happen prior to iOS14 and is quite frustrating. Have not found solution online.

iPhone 8, iOS 14
