Default Sometimes radio no work

Sometimes the radio does not work, sometimes it does. It doesnt come on, then later it does. This often occurs when Carplay GPS is activated. The GPS voice also does not come on at the same time radio voice is not coming on. Sometimes I refresh by pushing radio on then off then on. Sometimes this does not remedy the situation, sometimes it does. Mute symbol displays when no voice.comes on.
Today on way to appointment radio and GPS voice didn't work (45 minute drive).. I gave up and decided to stop at dealer on way home. Upon start up the radio came on. I didn't use GPS on going home segment.

This has been frustrating for past month. Any ideas?

Thank you

Sometimes bluetooth does not connect to my phone. Sometimes radio does not recognize SD-Card in the slot. Only restart engine fixes them. I can live with them but GM shame quality

Low voltage on start due to old / weak battery can cause all kinds of electrical gremlins, especially on the first start of the day.

Just a thought.
