This works, but once I connect as a audio device, I can’t make phone calls via Bluetooth. I can reconnect MB Bluetooth as a phone as well (two separate connections on my phone) but then the audio has latency issues. How do I fix this?

Good day to you! I’m on my 3rd MBZ. A 2013 E350 4matic.I’ve had this car for 8 years and absolutely love it. I’ve notice the past several months that the blue tooth function, in connection with my Apple iPhone, starts to cut in & out with the music playing (I play music from my iPhone) and sounds like the vinyl albums from yesteryear when the needle would get stuck on the album or skip ahead on the album. The car came equipped with the Harmon-Kardon stereo & sound system. Do you know of any function or way to resolve this annoying interruption of music when playing? Radio stations are perfect, CDs play perfect. Just the blue tooth & music is constantly cutting in & out. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated.
