No problems here. I use YouTube Music or the Podcasts app for audio and Apple Maps or Google Maps to navigate (prefer Apple Maps because it pauses Podcasts while talking). Always wired and mostly in German cars: I tried VW, BMW, Mercedes, Opel and Suzuki.
Those are a couple of differences, I've never tried in a German car and typically use either the built-in Music app or sometimes in-browser YouTube.
I'm a professional driver and have been since the 90s.
The day will one day come where the shitty proprietary map providers that pay auto manufacturers to foist them on us get ousted and we can have a USB-C connection to the car's system display for our screen mirroring as standard.
In-vehicle audio and navigation is utterly useless. Costly updates, unfamiliar GUI's, distracting bells and whistles.
There are two SatNav's I've seen used by colleagues:
GOOG maps (thanks for messing up timeline last week, shitheads)
TomTom trucks (I drive large vehicles these days)
I'd love to have a screen that mirrors my phone, on the dash, not obscuring the windscreen, with connections to the steering wheel controls and the speakers.
Making do with a vent/suction holder is frustrating.

I do notice how every Uber driver has the vent holder.
