Wireless carplay or wired? Where is your music coming from? Spotify?

 I use CarPlay all the time, wirelessly with no issues.

It actually did seem delayed/hesitant if you like when connected via usb.

thanks for all the replies I listen wireless through Apple Music on a iPhone XS that’s just 18 months old,it’s annoying when listening to your favourite tunes the car is perfect otherwise

Which software version is your mib unit running? That is quite important at the moment for determining faults... And they all have faults at the moment.
