Phone connected through car USB carplay but unable use phone function

I have a 2018 Hyundai Sante Fe Sport. Just recently when I have my phone plugged into the USB in vehicle and using carplay. I'm unable to make or receive phone calls. The icon for the bluetooth when using USB isn't functional.

What do you recommend?

iPhone 6, iOS 11

iPhone 14 Pro Max calling itself when connected to car bluetooth Does anyone have a resolution for iPhone calling itself every time I get in my car and phone connects with vehicle via Bluetooth? It is very annoying, interferes with listening to the radio, you can't shut it off, it doesn't register on the phone that a call has been made. It's happening in both my Porsche and my Mercedes so it's obviously a phone problem and not a car issue. I just got the 14 Pro Max a month ago and that's when it started happening. It's honestly infuriating. It renders using the phone in the car with bluetooth obsolete.

iOS 17 or 15 Pro Max Bluetooth connection issues with Volvo car Just upgraded to iPhone 15 Pro Max with iOS 17.0.2. Connect to my Volvo v40 via Bluetooth and can listen to audio and make calls. However when I end the call, using either the handset or vehicle controls the call ends in the phone but the infotainment system still sees the call as active. The only way to “end the call” is to switch the infotainment system off and wait for the handset to disconnect from the car Bluetooth before reconnecting. Dont recall having this issue with my iPhone XS which was updates to iOS 17. Any advice greatly appreciated
