Mine is a 2019 Limited WRX with the same Harman stereo. I too have issues with CarPlay where it will play for 20min or so and randomly disconnect. I run iPhone7 with iOS12 (did not work on iOS11.x either). I've tried the Apple lightening cable, Siri is on, etc.
I also own a 17 Golf-R with CarPlay and it works perfectly fine on that car so I too suspect that it is a HU firmware bug. If anyone has one working, please let us know your firmware version.
For now, I have restricted CarPlay from launching on my iPhone so that I can plug in my iPhone to charge and use it like the Harman stereo in my 16 STI. For the most part this works fine for me since I don't usually use maps (not big on Spotify either) and for text, I just use Siri anyway.. but it would be nice to have CarPlay working since the screen is so nice.
