Along with the gazillion other people that have issues with CarPlay losing communication via stereo 2 minutes into a call, I do as well. So much so that I have thrown in the towel using CarPlay. I now use Bluetooth, but it is problematic also. I can place a call using Bluetooth and no problems. She. I have an incoming call and I answer it, the Bluetooth dies not pick up. It picks up on the regular iPhone, I have to take eyes off the road and choose source and smartlink. Ugh! So frustrating!

 

This does not happen to me. Maybe it is in a setting someplace?

 

I don't recall exactly when or where on this forum, and I am not an iPhone user, but I seem to remember someone else mentioning this...they changed a setting (as Madd Dog said).on their phone that solved this issue.
