Something you could try for a relatively small amount of money would be to try a wireless Carplay adapter.

I'd suggest looking for something away from the bargain bucket end of the market, something like an iCarlinkit, Ottocast, something like that rather than an eBay no-name one. :D

Yes, I was thinking that and I think i will try it

To be honest i’m thinking maybe replace the whole head unit as a whole with a pioneer aftermarket one?
Will cost £4-500 fitted but it would also be a good upgrade to the sound quality and everything, which is what i am also looking to upgrade anyways

I figure there’s no point upgrading anything sound related at the moment though because of the stutters but this could be the way to kill 2 birds with one stone

A lot of functionality besides the radio and satnav (if fitted) goes through the head unit. You would probably have problems with steering wheel controls. Time and date change. Possibly the heater/aircon.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Inside every old person is a young person wondering what the hell happened.

If you can, try someone else's phone too. There's a moderate chance it's something the phone is/is not doing.
