CarPlay hijacking iDrive

There are some aspects of CarPlay I like, specifically the text messaging and Amazon Music App. But the system likes to hijack my iDrive. For example:

- Listening to XM radio and I get a text message. I listen to the text and the system defaults to CarPlay for music source afterwards.
- Receive a phone call. After the call ends the music source defaults to CarPlay regardless of what I was listening to before the call.
- Use any app on my phone (while stopped) and the music source changes to CarPlay.

Is this normal? Fixable?

It is normal. Some of the issues are supposedly getting a fix in the next iOS update.
