Both are related to gain levels between the head unit and the phone. Will have to experiment later.

Wanted to revive this thread since I finally was able to fix the issue on my '16 LE yesterday...
Not sure if this is the exact fix for everybody but the following worked for me:
Updated firmware on headunit with new updated loaded onto usb drive, unpaired phone, deleted all data from headunit, installed entune app on iPhone Xs running iOS 13.3, repaired phone allowing contacts to sync but not notifications. Then during a bluetooth phone call I turned the phone volume all the way up and lowered the headunit volume to about 30. I also went into HandsFree during the call and adjusted the level to +2.
This fixed the issue for me and I'm not sure if it was dumb luck or the correct way to resolve the problem. When repairing my phone I noticed the headunit is now called "CarAccessorySystem" in my iPhone's bluetooth list and previously it showed "4Runner".
I tested the idea that the phone's mic was still active and that wasn't the case before or after applying my "fix" as listed above with my phone model and OS version.
Hopefully this helps someone, if only to put a bandaid on the issue until Pioneer releases the DMH-WT8600NEX with the 11" screen and fully adjustable screen position!
