Well the manual doesn’t state whether a certain sensor of the iphone or anything similar is being used so I guess the problem could be the configuration of the auto transmitter. I did discover this
Adjust the volume of your FM radio to the desired listening level.*

*Due to characteristics of FM transmission, you will experience better sound quality by adjusting the volume on your car
stereo when necessary, and by leaving your iPod volume at a medium level.
to begin with and if the problem persists, these
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Could be solutions too.
Btw which car is it? Could be important.

You can get ignition or even alternator noise induced into the transmitter or the iphone itself.
So moving things around is really the only practical way to avoid it.
