Based on info I've found below, the position of the wifi antenna plays a big role in connection stability. Where is your wifi antenna... can it be placed closer to your phone? I notice with mine, if phone is not close enough to the wifi antenna, I get lots of dropout. I moved antenna right beside my drivers seat, and that solved the problem entirely.
ow it Works
Wireless CarPlay has three requirements, a Bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi access point, and location data. Here’s is a simplified breakdown of the entire process:
To initialize the connection the phone uses Bluetooth to send a signal to the head unit requesting to connect.
Once the Bluetooth connection is made the phone will request wireless credentials to the Wi-Fi access point.
Upon confirmation the head unit will send the wireless credentials to the iPhone, which will cause the phone to search and join the Wi-Fi access point.
After the Wi-Fi connection has been established, the Bluetooth signal will disconnect and all audio and video will be transferred over Wi-Fi.
And now you’re set, you now can use CarPlay wirelessly.
