Default Bluetooth Question - Multiple Phones?

Hi folks,

Quick question for you. Can you connect multiple phones to the infotainment system at once? If so, can I specify which one should be used for the app suite? Reason I ask is because my work phone has unlimited data so I figure why burn the data on my personal cell

Thanks!

As far as I know you can only connect one phone at a time. I have a GS4 and Note3 for work. Both phones are setup but only one will connect at a time.

Bummer, guess I'll just have to connect the work phone when I want to do some streaming audio. Thanks for the quick response!

You can, manually. I'll have my phone connected to the handsfree BT and the media profile but often my sisters will go and manually connect their phone to the media profile to stream music. Not 100% sure that's what you are talking about but yea.

So if you get a call while your sister's phone is streaming media, does that call get directed through the speakers? Because if so, that's exactly what I wanted

We get a lot of people who like to do this. A good example is people who like to roadtrip and have their iPads loaded with Audio books. I'll connect the iPad as an Audio device and leave their phone connected via BT Handsfree.
