Is it possible to use Apple Car Play in the car but with phone, text and email deactivated? Basically, if I use Apple Car Play at all I only want to use my Apple Music subscription and on rare occasions Apple Maps. I have my Apple Music account loaded into PCM, but I can't shuffle songs (unless I'm missing something) but I can shuffle them in Apple Music.

what happens if I already have my phone linked via PCM/bluetooth and a call comes through? Am I receiving it via Apple Play or PCM/bluetooth? Or does it not matter?

If car play is active, you are receiving the call through CarPlay - I believe it uses the 5GHz wifi for the connection rather than bluetooth for all interactions between phone and car.
