MY IPHONE 11 PRO MAX CONSTANTLY MAKES THE SYSTEM REBOOT (EVERY 30 SECONDS OR SO) WHEN TRYING TO CONNECT TO THE HANDSFREE BLUETOOTH AUDIO AND PHONE FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AND IN MOTION, AND MAKES DRIVING MORE HAZARDOUS BY NOT ALLOWING US ANY HANDSFREE OPTION TO STAY WITHIN THE LAWS ON CELLULAR DEVICES NATIONWIDE.
