The "black spot" near the Chandler Hwy section of the Eastern Fwy is a lot better. Previously ACP used to disconnect entirely and would take upwards of 30sec+ to reconnect. Now the audio drops out for 1-2 sec and everything is back to normal.

I haven't gone through many toll points due to lockdown but will report here later.

I can also report that our Audi Q7 using wireless ACP also drop out momentarily around the same spot in Kew. However, in the Audi, you have the option of plug-in CarPlay.
MY car play only drops out momentarily in the same spot near my house and when I drive through a toll point, but it's pretty solid everywhere else.
