My Car's broken build-in navigation interference with iPhone's navigation

My car's (Ford Focus-2023) build-in navigation is broken. It doesn't show the right location. I don't know if there is any kind of navigation data transferred from car to my iPhone while I was using Apple CarPlay but I think it is messing some things in my iPhone's navigation. Because Apple Maps, Google Maps and any other map services shows non-sense locations when I connect my iPhone to the car. It shows the current location anywhere else but the right location.

Note: I tried different iPhones and also Android phones. The result was same. Fixing Car's Navigation is not an option for me. My iPhone's navi is working absolutely fine when I don't connect it to the car.

If you want to watch

Please let me know if there is an option like 'do not use any car navigation data' on iPhone.

Thanks for your help.

Contact your Ford dealer or don’t plug the phone into the car.

When you plug the phone into the car, it uses the car’s GPS antenna. If you need to charge while using navigation in the car, get a cigarette lighter power adapter to use instead of plugging into the built in USB port.

Not sure why fixing it isn’t an option. Unless you put a massive amount of miles on the car, I’d think it would still be covered under the warranty. It’s only a couple years old.
