It's been around since iOS 8 but for some reason car audio manufacturers are ultra-slow to adopt it.
Got a tip for us?

I have had this issue with my 2018 Clubman, wireless connection, for more than a year. Replaced head unit in car which made it connect every time. Unfortunately CarPlay continues to have connection issues. Have called Apple and been through two escalations and now they ignore my calls. That makes me believe this is a combination of BMW and Apple not working together for a solution. I agree that it is probably some type of wireless interference. Hope it is solved since it is a great system when connected. Of course very dangerous when it disconnects while in traffic on a phone call.
No, my 2019 Forester can connect to Wi-Fi and auto checks for updates when the vehicle starts. Said there was an update, I installed it, and then later in the day read that one of the fixes was for audio skipping in CarPlay.
UPDATE! Took it to the mini dealership today after the CarPlay option completely disappeared. After waiting for three hours and escalating the situation from technician to foreman to mini engineer they finally fixed my CarPlay connection. Now that I can finally connect again, it seems that it’s doesn’t skip as often but the problem is still there 😫

Hello! I started this thread and still can't believe we have had no resolution. I guess we just need to continue having patience
Saw this suggestions on Apple support forums and it works great! No cutting or freezing.
Just put your phone under the infotainment system in the little cubby in front of the cup holders.
Works great, yet still annoying that I have to leave my phone in this spot. If I move it from the spot it continues to freeze and/or cut off.

Question is it plugged in to the USB? I noticed that if I plugged it in it would start cutting out again (but not as much). I have to have it in there by itself and then I don't get any cutout
No, it did not. However, I did go back to this thread late last week and tried the suggestion a few posts above and placed the phone directly under the radio in the little area in front of the cup holders. When it is there, the drop outs are almost non existent. There is still one little stretch of road on my commute where dropouts happen, but for the most part, that seems to work. Not ideal, but it worked. Now, it would be nice to have that close signal in the wireless charging cradle.
For reference in case it matters at all:
US 2019 Mini JCW Convertible (built Nov 2018)
iPhone 11 pro with a leather case
And now a week later, I do still have some drop outs even with the phone under the radio, but it is much less frequent.
iOS 13.3.1 beta 2.... problem over. Its works 🥳🙏🏻 iPhone 11 pro Max / mini cooper 2018 CarPlay
No cracks no stuttering 👌🏻

The 13.3.1 beta has also resolved the issue for me (wireless CP, 2019 Mini Clubman). I've actually left my iPhone 11 Pro in my pocket and there's been no cutting out whatsoever (three trips so far). Overall CP responsiveness is also much improved.
fyi - I have followed the steps here to disable the U1 chip in 13.3.1: https://www.macrumors.com/2020/01/17/ios-13-3-1-beta-ultra-wideband-chip-toggle/. I haven't yet tested performance with it enabled.

Looks like it is finally hitting the news sites, but they say it is fixed in the latest beta too. Looks like this software is a lucky #13. https://9to5mac.com/2020/01/22/iphone-11-with-wireless-carplay/
Good news! I updated my iphone 11 to 13.3.1 beta 3 and the problem is solved. In my case it was NOT necessary disable the toggle of the U1 chip. I just updated the fw and it was 100%.
