A wireless carplay adaptor that actually seems to work reliably?!

I've a Carlinkit 5.0 and it works without any issues on android auto except the usb port seems to always be powered when the car is locked.
Anyone experienced this?
I think there's some type of timer on the power to the usb. Mine sometimes doesn't reconnect to the adaptor for a while if I just jump out of the car for a few minutes and back in.
Quickly pulling the adaptor and plugging back in gets it back immediately.
 
I’m finding that when using google maps, after about 30 minutes, the head unit reverts to the main screen and I cannot get CarPlay back unless I unplug the adapter and re-insert though the audio navigation commands still work as if CarPlay is connected.
This only happens when using the wireless charging shelf though; if the phone stays in my pocket, it doesn’t cut out.
Happens every time I use the charging shelf and with two different iPhones, a XS and 14 model. Sort of negates the usefulness of a wireless setup so for journeys longer than my commute, I still need to go wired; plus the phone shifts on the shelf so cannot guarantee it is constantly charging which also might be causing a conflict somewhere in the setup.
