I have a 2020 Mercedes. It randomly freezes then disconnects, so I have to unplug and plug it back in. It’s super annoying.

I miss my iPhone 14 Pro Max. It was perfect.
Yes, my disconnects with my iPhone 17 pro max are mostly with wireless CarPlay. Mostly stable with the cord. I really hope this is fixed!!!
