NTG4.5 - phone order

[Gollom]

If both my wife and I are in the car, it picks up her Samsung before my Pixel gets a look in! Is there a way to change the order? (I'm assuming only 1 phone can be active?)

Not sure about the 204 but a fairly common thing if two registered phones come into range at the same time is for it to pick the one it was more recently connected to.

I just turn Bluetooth off on Mrs BTB's phone when she's not looking

^ This.

If you're both in the car and it has connected your wife's phone, just access the COMAND Tel menu and select your own phone. Assuming your wife doesn't use the car without you too being in it, your phone will then be the "last connected" and will automatically reconnect ahead of hers.

My sons Iphone always connects first when we travel as a family.... no matter whether he was in the car with me last time or not. IPhone always seems to beat my Android to it!....I might just delete it from the system and hope he does not notice!

Not directly related, but I had my own phone connected over Bluetooth for voice calls, while my daughter's phone was connected to Bluetooth streaming only, and it worked well for us.

She could play her music via the car's audio system, while I was to take any incoming call over the handsfree.

You can't have both connected at the same time though.....at least not on mine. So if we did that I could not answer calls whilst he was streaming music.

It worked on my Audio20 NTG4.5 and on my COMAND NTG4.7 (4.5 Gen 3). The trick was to connect her phone to Bluetooth streaming only. BTW, my phone was also providing the Internet for COMAND at the same time.
