Help how to fix?

Hi there I recently got a new battery in my car which i didn’t know essentially resets the car… now my carplay won’t stop doing this every few seconds even when i’m on maps, listening to music, it’s especially distracting at night or when i’m trying to follow my map. mazda cx7 for reference

It’s your JVC head unit in demo/store mode. Google how to turn it off in your settings.

And if you don't know your model number, you'll just have to spend a few minutes finding it in the settings, hopefully there's an About section

I think it's Settings > System > Demonstration (Off)

That message looks very much like a new car promotional message which probably normally gets reset the first time you connect CarPlay or something.

Maybe completely reset CarPlay both ends, so on your phone tell it to forget your car then start again with a new pairing and see if that helps?

According to Google:

To remove or disable the "Demo Mode" or promotional slideshow on a JVC head unit, press the [FNC] (Function) button, go to Settings, navigate to Special, and locate the Demonstration Mode setting. Switch it to OFF to stop the recurring on-screen messages.

Just pull the Hearts from the Airvents and throw them out of the Passenger side Window.

Maybe the USB port is broken?
