Default Can we use 2 different bluetooth phones with the TCH?

My wife and I have 2 different cell phones. Can we associate both of them with the TCH, so that when she drives the car, her phone works, and when I drive the car, my phone works? And then what if we are both in the car with our phones?

Thanks,
Paul

You can pair multiple phones with the TCH. Initially you'll need to pair both phones with the car. After that you'll have to go through the options. One of them is to select a phone. You'll have to do this each time you want to switch which phone pairs with the TCH.

Bluetooth is monogamous. It will only pair one phone with one other device. So your car will only pair up with one phone, the one that you've selected through the menu setting.

I can only speak to the NAV implementation but you can turn OFF the AutoConnect and that would force you to select a phone each time you start the car.
That would make the procedure consistent regardless of who drives the car.
Just another option. YMMV.

I have the non-NAV version and to the best of my knowledge that feature does not exist in my car.

95% of the time it will be me driving the car. So we only have to go through the menus when we want to change it to my wife's phone or back to my phone, right? If I drive the car 10 times in a row, I shouldn't have to go through those menus every time right?

Thanks,
Paul

Assuming you did not turn OFF the Autoconnect (Default is ON) you are correct.
