apple carplay

Hi, fellow Tellies. New 2024 owner and have a question about carplay. I do not seem to be getting any audible alert that a new text message has come in. The only way I know is if I happen to have the display on carplay and I notice a red dot on the messages chicklet. I've checked the sound...

I've had little to no issues with my 2021 Telluride SXP, except one: Android Auto and the main USB port in the front console. I'll plug my phone in (Samsung S22 Ultra, a USB-C phone) and Android Auto will pop up quickly, but then it'll randomly disconnect and show this frustrating error loop...
