CarPlay skips playing music

On my 2018 Subaru Impreza, when it's connected via USB cable and CarPlay, audio keeps skipping intermittently causing sub second gaps in the music.


I don't recall this happening when playing audio using the podcast or TV apps.


Do other users of CarPlay experience this?


This car has a Harman Kardon head unit.

I have this same issue on a 2018 Crosstrek. Took it to dealer; they updated the Starlink software, and problem is still there: "skipping" - or a slight hiccup - every couple of minutes. Carplay problem persists regardless of cable type, Apple certified or not, and regardless of iPhone type. Still searching for solutions.
