So I use music hosted on the phone itself when I have the urge.

It does not seem to auto reload for me. On occasion, I used to have to reboot the phone or the dongle to get AA to work at startup but not so much recently with UI 7.

Make sure the AA Wireless is on the latest firmware, via the AA Wireless app.
My guess is that you are wirelessly transmitting tons of mapping data so it is going to eat battery. Music, not so much but map data, I believe so. Same thing with the wife's A8 that has AA native. Good thing she has a wireless charger that came with the car and Audi will warn you that the phone is in the center glove box if you are exiting the car.

It does for me in 2 vehicles that I have wireless AA. Map keeps going on and on for a while then it disappears and reconnects and rhe map comes back.

Definitely. Every month I check the OS and every couple of days, I check all apps for updates.
