Tom, the list of priority is to keep the phone list straight. If you had your personal phone in #1 because you are the daily driver, you had:
your work phone as #2
Your wife's as #3
(I don't know if you have kids but we'll use them as an example)
your son as #4
Your daughter as #5
etc.
You are all in the vehicle going to dinner, Uconnect needs to know which phone it should answer and run thru the system. Could you imagine driving along and your phone is paired up, your son gets a call, your BT connection is dropped and your sons is picked up by uconnect. Now you're listening to your sons call while trying to transfer the call to his phone and he's saying hold on everyone's listening.
The other problem is with
time. I'm sure that you already know that it takes about 30 seconds for a phone to be found and connected. Uconnect isn't a phone, it's an inline device. This means that the phone receives a call and sends an "incoming call" message across the BT stream letting UC know that the phone has a call. UC now displays the incoming call, and prepares to run it thru the radios audio. Now it would take longer if if UC was setting there, a call comes in to your son's phone, your son's phone sends the message to UC, UC displays the incoming call, displays "do you want to answer your sons call" (or something similar)? If you selected yes, then UC would have to drop your connection, find your sons phone and now connect with it.
This would take longer than the phone would ring thru before going to voice mail.
Now if you are driving along on vacation, you've been driving and are now tired so your wife starts driving but she's expecting a call to come in. In order for it to come thru UC (1) of (2) things need to be done. Either:
1) You turn the BT off on your phone
2) You press the UC button on the radio, "say set up, select phone", you be asked what phone you want to select......
As I mentioned in another post, when you do method #2, is only good thru the current ign key cycle. when you leave the vehicle and come back, your phone will now connect. So if your wife is going to be driving after dinner, getting gas etc, then the best thing to do is method #1.
OK, that's my problem. When one connects the other disconnects. Can not make both connect at the same time.
When mine is connected then I connect hers mine is dumped (paired but not connected).
