Bluetooth, how many devices at one time?

[martin j.]

We have a 2015 fr with tech pack, it seems that only one Bluetooth device can be coupled at a time, ie, one phone or digital music device at a time, is this correct? I want to have my phone and music at the same time.

One device can be connected at a time, but that means you can have a phone connected for both calls and bluetooth audio.

You can have the phone on one phone and use music on another. I have my phone connected to take calls and my son connects his and plays music. It's under Settings, Bluetooth, Paired Devices I think. Here you can choose what does what

Can’t say that ever worked on my old 280 with the MIB1, but my current car with MIB2 will connect 2 phones by Bluetooth. However if you use CarPlay it only allows devices connected y CarPlay (but again 2, it’s just not as easy to switch between the 2).

It works fine on mine unfortunately and I have to listen to the crap my lad likes . I don't often use Android Auto as it's rubbish with Amazon Music

Cheers guys, reckon we have the earlier MiB1 so I’ll need to see if can attach it using a cable in the glove connection.

He has a 2015, therefore an MIB1. Yours will be an MIB2.

Yeah definitely an MIB1 as your car is 2015.

Your other option if you have access to download music is to put it all on a memory stick or portable hard drive unless you are wanting to play it on a data connection. I have a 300gb hard drive connected too so I don't have to touch my phone
