2 iPhones connected
I'm trying to understand if it's possible to somehow connect 2 iPhones at the same time.
I use my iPhone with CarPlay and Waze maps.
My wife wants to send YouTube music to the 911 with her iPhone.
does anyone know how to do this?

Two iPhones can be connected to PCM 6.1 and maybe to older PCM versions via Bluetooth for receiving incoming phone calls but only the primary phone can make outgoing calls. Only one iPhone at a time can be connected via CarPlay. If you're running Waze under CarPlay connected to your iPhone, wouldn't you also have connect your wife's phone to CarPlay in order to run YouTube Music from it?
I wonder if you could install the YouTube Music app on your iPhone, add your wife's Google / YouTube Music account to the YouTube Music app on your iPhone with her account ID and password and then stream "her" YouTube Music library while your iPhone is connected to CarPlay. I've got three Google accounts of my own and mainly use one of them for streaming YouTube Music but I have successfully used one of my other Google accounts to do it.
Or, make your wife's iPhone the primary phone, connect it to CarPlay and run both the Waze and YouTube Music apps from it while your iPhone remains connected for incoming calls only.

I'm basing my suggestions on how the YouTube Music app works in Android Auto on PCM 6.1. The iOS version of YouTube Music may have different and less functionality which wouldn't be surprising since YouTube and YouTube Music are products from Google which also own Android and Android Auto.
If I start a song from the YouTube Music app in Android Auto on the PCM screen and there is a video associated with the audio track, the video will play on my phone screen if I'm running YouTube Music in foreground mode on my phone but of course the video will not show on the PCM screen. But I don't normally run YouTube Music in foreground on my phone and instead let it run in background when it's invoked from Android Auto. IIRC, a paid subscription to YouTube Music is required in order to run YouTube Music in background mode but that's on an Android phone. It might not be the same on an iPhone.

I can't understand if using free YouTube music I can do this:
1) my iPhone connected CarPlay using phone and Waze.
2) iPhone wife uses YouTube music and I can hear music in the 911
maybe carlinkit can help me?

I don't know about CarPlay but the free YouTube Music app wouldn't do what I suggested in Android Auto. The subscription version is needed. The free version of the Android YouTube Music app has to run in foreground mode and be displayed on the phone screen at all times for it to function. It might be the same for the iOS version of the YouTube Music app. . One of the features you get with a YouTube Music subscription is that it can run in background mode which allows other applications (e.g. Waze) to run concurrently.

Two phones can be connected without car play. They can both send and receive phone calls through the system but just not at the same time. Two phones can be connected by wire at the same time. The phone connected in the arm rest is the car play device. The phone connected in the glove box is an iPod. It is seen as other media. That phone plays music controlled locally. This is really no different than when the CarPlay is displaying maps while the PCM is playing XM radio. Just another source for it.

only way I found is: mine connected with CarPlay. My wife's iPhone connected with the cable and sees it as the audio source. so it's perfect. It would be great if you could see it as an audio source even without a cable attached

with the fiat 500e I can do the same thing, but without connecting the second iPhone with the cable... but it connects directly with Bluetooth and sees it as the audio source.

I think SharePlay is the solution here, although I don't know that it will work for a video.

Not sure if this works with Youtube for music, but you can have one phone connected to the car playing music using Spotify, and then if you're logged into the same Spotify account on another phone, you can control it from there (music selection) while the music still plays through the first one (works really well with bluetooth speakers, too).
