Apple Car Play keeps disconnecting whilst in use, is this my mobile telephone signal dropping? 

Can't speak to CP, but on Android Auto there's an audible warning if signal is lost.

 

Much will depend on the areas most driven in. I would have thought in the West Midlands 4G coverage would be good. I know in the West Yorks conurbation we've virtually no dead spots these days. Indeed, on our last long run across to Lake Como, the only time we lost signal in Europe overall was in the Italian tunnels 

 

Does the phone lose signal when not connected for CarPlay? Have you tried another cable?

How odd. I have found that there is no loss of anything (phonewise) in Italian tunnels.

Can't say on the actual phone side - but data definitely went 

I have read somewhere that the heated screens can effect the internet reception on some mobile phones. But thinking about it that’s why they have the shark fin antenna,so it should be ok?

Should be OK in the new car then

 

No heated screen in our current Yeti either.

 

Every cloud eh?

I wouldn’t know I’ve not had a heated screen since Ford first brought them out.

Our current car just has the old school bee sting aerial and 4G connectivity is generally fine.

 

Aside from those Italian tunnels

You shouldn't have ANY Italian tunnels in Yorkshire.    

You've never been to Cleckheaton then?

 

Where's that??

 

Italy????    

Chianti fields, just south of Heckmondwike.

No its north of Robertown.
