This worked for me the past ~10 times it's happened and although not perfect it's WAY better than fumbling around under the armrest to reconnect the phone.

Setup:
2017 Prestige
iOS 11.2.1

Problem:
When parking sensors are activated, manually or automatically, you get kicked out of Carplay and when you try and select it again it seems to attempt to open it but fails and returns you to the main MMI screen. CarPlay does not stop playing but you cannot enter to change/see anything.

Workaround:
When you are kicked out select "Media" using the buttons on the MMI control panel. Carplay will stop playing at that moment and 1 of 2 things can happen.
1) Carplay instantly returns and you can press "Play" to continue.
2) Media menu is shown on screen. At that point I can return to main menu and select Carplay as normal.

Let me know if this works for you fols as I would still like to understand if the issue is common across multiple users or I'm the special one :)

weird... I tried this several times over the weekend and had no issues. I wonder what's different...

Plugged in phone which was set to go to carplay. Music (Apple Music) started playing and I set up my map, picked destination, etc using the car interface. I then put in reverse, backed out of spot (cameras popped on)... put it back in gear, drove away, and my map came right back up with no issues. Music kept playing without issue and Audi interface returned properly to maps. I did this numerous times - never a hiccup.

2017 Prestige and iPhone 7 with ios 11.2.1.

I did some investigation yesterday and i have confirmed that the solution you proposed works if you have music streaming or playing through apple music. As you mentioned you get kicked out then you press the media button yo can then go back into car play. But if you plug your phone in and are not playing music and then kicked out the solution does not work and the only thing that works for me is to unplug and then plug the phone back in.

Has anyone been to the dealer about this yet? It is driving me nuts.

When I am driving in town in lanes of traffic, my front sensors occasionally flash up very briefly then MMI kicks me out of carplay screen. After reading this thread today, I can usually switch to MEDIA or RADIO and switch back, but not every time.

On a similar theme, my front sensors seem to be really sensitive all of a sudden. Bleep every time I pull off my drive (which slopes down to the road), which it never used to do!
