Yeah, a metal case is an RF shield by its very nature. BT and 2.4GHz WiFi use the same ISM band and should be affected in a similar way. WiFi transmitters are much stronger which may be making the difference for you.
Earlier, you said
There were reports in the past about the model 3B and mutual interference between its BT and WiFi. See, e.g., Pi3 conflict between Bluetooth WiFi . As well, problems have been reported on this forum about inteference with some I2S DACs.
In any case, getting a USB-BT transceiver and a short USB cable to move the transmitter/receiver away should clear up any problems with shielding and mutual interference.
Then you said
Is that BT between phone and car entertainment system or phone and moOde?????
As for AirPlay, I don't know it well but it was my understanding that it detects Bluetooth devices automatically (like BT headphones) and it does or at least can use BT for certain functions or in certain circumstances (like point-to-point connections). I haven't found good reference material, though. Apple's site is all happy talk.
