There are a lot of times I would get into my car, only to find that my phone didn't connect at all. This and sometimes sporadic hotspot and AirPods, could there be something going on with my bluetooth chip itself? CarPlay would randomly just drop out, and I would be back at the main car screen instead.

I have even had it disconnect from my Apple Watch when I am wearing it. Unfortunately Apple Store just shows everything is fine with their hardware test. Apple can only offer the advice of restore it and don't restore from backup, which I have already done many times before, and no difference is made. They tried to blame the car, the AirPods, and the Apple Watch.....I mean that's a possibility but the probability of all of those devices' BT chip going bad vs my phone?
