carplay streams at a much higher rate than bluetooth.
it might sound worse cause your speakers are playing at higher volumes causing vibration. there are a couple recent forums about sound deadening the doors.
i recently did this also and made a huge difference in sound quality.
bluetooth is the worst sound quality platform
carplay plays at cd quality only if plugged. when going wireless it losses quality

One thing I have notices - the Apple Carplay audio quality is bad and breaks out so I now listen to music soley through bluetooth and the quality is much better and doesnt break out.
A potential reason why I think bluetooth works better is that I can raise the volume close to full on my phone and then on Pivi have the volume close to half. In Carplay you cant adjust the volume on the phone.

Somewhat related question, but if anyone knows or can help, that would be great. My issue is, I want to use CarPlay but much prefer the native navigation system in Pivi Pro, over Google Maps or Waze. But when using CarPlay, when clicking on the Nav icon, it automatically takes you to Google Maps via CarPlay. I have to turn off CarPlay, the way Pangea123 suggests, in my phone settings to use my preferred Navigation in Pivi, but then lose my music selections and other CarPlay features. Does anyone have a workaround?

I cannot remember if the vehicle remembers this on future drives. I think it does to a degree; but I do know I have to repeat this process occasionally (it is easier and quicker than it sounds).
