CarPlay audio keeps cutting out during calls or music
CarPlay audio cutouts are for most people caused by a weak Bluetooth connection, interference from the car's system, or a glitch in the CarPlay connection. Forgetting and reconnecting CarPlay, restarting your iPhone, or adjusting Bluetooth settings fixes this for most people.
When CarPlay audio cuts out, it's for most people because the Bluetooth connection between your iPhone and car is unstable, there's interference from the car's electronics, or the CarPlay app needs a restart. We'll refresh the Bluetooth connection, update settings, and clear any temporary glitches.
