It is possible to have two Bluetooth devices connected at once, in which case one of them can only be streaming media. The most recently connected phone will automatically be connected to make calls, send/receive messages, stream media and provide an Internet connection. To change the use of the phone, see section "Bluetooth settings".
Connection is performed once per device. After connection, the Bluetooth device no longer needs to be visible/searchable but only needs to have Bluetooth activated. To connect the car to the Internet via a phone, tethering must be activated on the phone. A maximum of 20 connected Bluetooth devices can be stored in the car.
