iPhone Xs Bluetooth audio quality

I connect my phone to my car to listen to music. I primarily use Apple Music. iPhone XS has a problem with audio quality. The quality keeps dropping for a few seconds, then switches to high quality for a few seconds, and this keeps going like that. The issue is with treble. It's as if the 10kHz gain is reduced and then brought back up. Kinda like years ago when you tried to stream music and started with low quality and became high quality after enough buffering...

This doesn't happen with the iPhone 7s we have, running iOS12. Car is 2014 BMW 3 series

I have gone through the full on/off cycle with the car, phone, and forgetting/pairing bluetooth again without success.

Any suggestions?

iPhone XS, iOS 12

I'm experiencing the same exact super annoying issue after iOS update. The only work around I found is to turn off WiFi when using Bluetooth in my car to have good audio quality (normally use Spotify). Hope apple fix this asap, is really (REALLY) annoying.

I am listening since hours and the problem has not occurred once! Maybe it's a silent fix?!

In my case it also seems to work now, great!

2017 Honda Civic touring. No more dropping in and out of the highs. Thanks Apple for fixing this finally (not that anyone from Apple will ever see this) :-)
