Everyone who has a smart watch that can make BT phone calls has this problem.
The car kit connects as "Connected (no phone)."

This bug was introduced by Google with Pixel XL after 7.0.2 update, and they never fixed it.
Individual manufacturers fix this in their own Android skins except Google, Xaiomi and now Oneplus.
BTW, the bug was not present in 5.1.5. OOS, and was introduced in 5.1.6 or 5.1.7 (I skipped the 5.1.6 update.) So, it's likely that OP simply and lazily copied Google code at that point.

If you want to get rid of this annoyance, one possible way is to disable Phone Audio option in the watch BT properties on the phone.
Of course, you could also flash 5.1.5.

Thank you. What would I loose disabling phone audio on watch ?
