ivo ~ As your iPhone XS could be 7 years old, it's worth checking for a weak, aging battery which can cause connectivity issues. So...

Does your iPhone XS still have its original battery?

And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...

Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging

Sorry, but your post doesn't make a lot of sense. CarPlay uses WiFi, not bluetooth. (bluetooth is used to make the initial connection and negotiate to hand off to WiFi. Once the wifi connection is made, bluetooth doesn't enter into the picture any more.
