static with apple carplay

Why have I suddenly developed static when playing music through my iPhone 12 Pro and my Subaru Apple CarPlay? I tried restarting my phone but didn’t help. Should I disconnect/reconnect my pine with my car’s Bluetooth?

Bluetooth Audio in Car stuttering Since upgrading from my iPhone XS to the iPhone 14 Pro Max I've been having issues where if my phone is in the car paired to my stereo sitting in it's cradle while moving that the audio will stutter. I've found that removing it from the phone holder I have will fix the issue. I think it may be a issue with the Accelerometer or Gyroscope being over stimulated by vibrations or bouncing on bumpy roads. Anyone else seeing these issues or found a way to fix it?

Interrupting car audio when open phone apps Hello. Wonder if anyone can help. My iPhone is connected via CarPlay/Bluetooth and every time when we are in the car and the radio is on, if I open an app on my phone it interrupts the radio and goes to the app music (in game app music for example). What can I do settings wise to avoid this? I do use the Bluetooth connection for music and phone calls. However this happens when I just have the radio on and am sitting parked or in passenger seat and open an app the radio is cut off.

iPhone 13 Pro and Bluetooth Issues Ok, folks... I'm wondering if others have been dealing with this very same problem. My wife and I have iPhone 13 Pro phones and we BOTH connect to our car's infotainment systems (mine being CarPlay, my wife's is an older Nissan Rogue without CarPlay) and we get one of two things happening while driving throughout the city of Memphis. This happens very consistently in the same spots in the city every single day, so it's not exactly a software glitch. Here's what happens. While listening to music or podcasts during our daily commute, our phones will glitch and either the audio stops playing or it drops quality to a mono signal that sounds like an old analog telephone. When the audio changes suddenly, you have to press play to pause it for a few seconds and press play to continue at full quality. If the audio stops, you just press play to continue. I've seen the exact behavior in FIVE completely different cars with very different infotainment or stereo systems in vehicles ranging from 2010 to 2022. THIS is so freaking annoying and Apple has COMPLETELY ignored it for the past TWO YEARS that I've been talking with them about it. I have a media engineering background and my experience tells me that the iPhone 13 Pro (and probably the iPhone 13 series) has a serious shielding issue. Meaning, Apple (FoxConn) used inferior materials to shield out noise and additional frequencies that can interrupt the phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Yes, CarPlay in some cars that have wireless CarPlay use both wired and Bluetooth at the same time to run CarPlay. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any issues in my 2022 Chevrolet Blazer with this issue. In another vehicle I own, I tried disabling Bluetooth and connected the iPhone using it's headphone adapter to an AUX jack in the car. It never dropped out once while driving on my daily commute. This leads me to believe its a Bluetooth issue with these iPhones. As I said above, my wife and I BOTH have iPhone 13 Pros and it happens on both phones in 5 different cars using Bluetooth or CarPlay.
