Bluetooth compression is much, much less harsh (2 Mbps) than the compression used in streaming music (~300Kbps). Sounds like maybe the transmitter or receiver is your problem.
This is not correct as far as I know. Most phones are pushing ~500 kbps at best.
Theoretical max. Actual is still higher than streaming bitrate.

I've always been under the impression BT was the issue. In my current car and previous car there is a noticeable difference in quality, volume, and base between BT or a wired connection. I just plug my phone in for carplay so it's not really an issue.
It's possible there's interference? Not like it matters if you're using CarPlay. I've had some (rental) cars where the bluetooth connection is shit. I haven't had any quality issues in the GTI though.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
