Even though I don’t connect via Bluetooth, I did have Bluetooth turned on on my phone, so I tried turning off Bluetooth on my phone the next time, and the issue didn’t show up. I even thought it might be my phone connecting to the public Comcast WiFi signal near my home, so I had my phone forget that connection, and the issue is still there. Then, while using the other car, with no CarPlay and only connected via cable, I had the same issue. Then I thought it was my stereo itself, so I turned off WiFi in my stereo same issue. When I first started having the issue, I thought it was my wireless CarPlay module, so I bypassed that with a cable same issue. I believe that something is causing interference with the Bluetooth module, causing the phone to briefly switch audio output through a channel that is used for voice communication. Occasionally, it never starts playing again, and I have to press play to start playing again.

A short moment after it does this in either vehicle, the music will usually pick back up and resume playing normally. Although I don’t use Bluetooth with the stereos directly, I do believe this is may be a Bluetooth interference issue, because many times, when this happens, my CarPlay stereo will pause music, then automatically switch to my center car speaker and resume playing only through that speaker, which is the only speaker the car uses when using hands free calling.

I should also note that I do not use Bluetooth with either stereo directly, but with the CarPlay stereo, I use Bluetooth to connect to a wireless CarPlay device (which also uses a WiFi connection), though it happens when I directly connect to the stereo via cable as well. The issue always happens in exactly the same spot while driving, which is within about a 1/4 mile radius about 1/4 mile from my home, and I’ve never had the issue anywhere else. The issue for me happens with at least two different stereos, one with CarPlay, and one without. Having the same issue, which only started about a month ago.
