iOS 12/iOS 11 Carplay poor call quality Crackle issue with Apple


Many iPhone X/8 and iPhone 7 users are faicing issue of poor call quality with the Carplay. This does not seems to be an issue with iPhone handset as the sound quality is great through Bluetooth using the Audi/BMW/other car interface. But when I connected the iphone 8 to carplay (using an official lightning cable) the sound quality is a really poor.


Surprisingly with CarPlay audio and link works perfectly for streaming music, using Siri etc, however while making or receiving calls the audio quality is choppy/breaks up. Even the iPhone X with upgraded to iOS 12 Beta 3 and still getting the popping sound. This is Really annoying.
