I can't figure out why my iPhone keeps disconnecting from my car ...

Lately when I am listening to music on my iPhone 11 Pro through my car stereo (via Bluetooth) and I ask Siri a question, (sometimes) my music will quit playing through via Bluetooth and will start playing on the built in speaker on my iPhone. When I look at my car stereo it says that it is still connected to my iphone (even though it is only playing through the iphone speaker) so I disconnect it from car and have to reconnect it. Then....eventually...it will start playing through my car stereo again when it finally reconnects. Has anyone else had this problem?

I thought iOS 14.4 would fix it, but sadly no...Quality control at Apple is getting worse and worse

Could it be because I recently added some mew Bluetooth devices and I usually have only one?

I am having Bluetooth issues in my car as well. I assumed it was iPhone 12 related, as I keep seeing Bluetooth issues being reported for the 12 series phones. Mine has not worked correctly since the day I started using my 12 Pro. The connection just randomly drops, whether it’s giving directions, on a phone call, or whatever. I’ve not had any issues with Bluetooth headphones, though. It’s just been in my car.

I wonder if it has to do with iOS 14 or one of the updates? Mine is a iPhone 11 Pro though

I've been having Car Play issues a lot since the update to IOS 14. It sucks, and I'm not about to restore my entire phone which might not even fix the problem.
