Bluetooth Question

[DanD]

Being on call all the time, I need to carry a work phone as well as my personal one, but only seem to be able to connect either one of them rather than both to the car's system. Which is a pain.

Is there a way to connect two phones? Or are there technical constraints that make this impossible?

[vrodman]

Yeah, I need to know this too.

Is there a way to have it set so that if I drive the car it auto connects to my phone..... and if my wife drives it auto connects to her phone?

This of course then begs the question - what happens if we both get in the car with our respective phones?

I've had a bit of a try to get my head round it but..... it's only easy if you're twelve years old.....

Given the number of views vs the number of response, this must be either a very complex... or very dumb question! ;-)

I would have thought the obvious thing to do is to just try it? Mine auto-connects my phone when I get in but I don't bother with the wife's as she is useless with technology

I was talking on my phone the other day in the front room and my wife got in the car to go somewhere. As soon as she turned the engine on, my phone connected and diverted my call through to the car speakers - my wife found herself talking to my mum and I thought my mum had hung up on me :winky:

I have to manually select the phone to use, it cannot automatically connect to two different phones.

[DanD]

Thanks Colin. Spot on as usual.

I have now looked into this a little deeper: you can register a number of (compatible) phones (I think it's 6), but only one phone can be connected at anyone time.

In the '06 RX I've got (Gen 3 NAV system) only 4 phones can be registered and - probably as in other versions - it is just one phone connected at the time. My Nexus 4, for example, does not work at all - it connects fine, but while on the call no sound is transmitter to/from the phone. Samsung S4 works fine. Could be a software issue though on Nexus 4.
