'20 FL disconnects from CarPlay a lot.
The wife has the '20 C63S coupe. We both have Apple 11 Pro's. Whether we use a USB/Lightning cable from the center console (No, I did not get the Qi rig) or the Apple to Play (?) WiFi widget, the phones are constantly disconnecting. The screen will lock up leading us to reboot the power to the screen and hope that when it comes back it will allow an eventual reconnect. But, only to crash a little while later.
What are we doing wrong?

Possibly the '20s are running a slightly newer version of COMAND, but in my '19 with an iPhone XS and iOS 14.4.1 I have no issues. I do have the wireless charger, though, so I plug in there. Works every time I use it. Pretty much has been problem free with all versions of iOS since I got the car. However, there do seem to be some issues. I remember you posted about this before and not sure if I posted these links before, but maybe it helps. The first one doesn't seem to affect my setup as I have a wallpaper set, but for the second one, I do have Assistive Touch disabled. Is it when you use a specific app? I mainly use CarPlay pretty much exclusively for Google Maps and I have it on the dashboard most of the time. I do know that Waze has been very buggy lately especially in conjunction with CarPlay. I was never particulary impressed with it even before and I ended up completely uninstalling it when I read reports that even just having it installed on the phone and not using it can cause issues.
