Hello,
Today I used CarPlay wirelessly for the first time and I noticed a significant issue: VoiceOver audio comes through the car speakers, unlike with a wired connection where it stays on the iPhone. Furthermore, there's a tremendous lag, making it nearly impossible to use.
How can I fix this annoying problem?
In addition, when the screen is off, VoiceOver announces the time every single minute, regardless of the connection type (wired or wireless) or the vehicle. This bug has been present for months now.
I'm currently on iOS 18.5 with an iPhone 13.

I reported these two problems to Apple Accessibility.
Update
I noticed that sometimes VoiceOver comes out of the device with sounds coming out of the car built-in stereo, and other times the whole system audio, VoiceOver included, comes through the stereo. In these occurrencies, which apparently happen regardless whether the connection is done via cable or wirelessly, the iPhone becomes very laggy to use due to the fact that probably the car is using wireless connection regardless if the phone is plugged in or not.
