Anyone ever do this? What happens if both phones are in the car?

Good ?.

I have an old S-10 without cell connectivity that I may set up as the primary phone. Has navi programs and tons of MP3s. If I want to set up my currently used phone as well (which I may), will I have to choose between one or the other for Android Auto? Or can only one phone be entered into the system? In that case I'll just set up my "working" phone.

I have a couple linked. One is identified as a favorite, if it’s not in the car the other connects.

If the phones are the same make/model; to eliminate confusion, make sure their device names are different in your phones' Bluetooth Device settings.

One will be primary the other secondary, In my wifes Maverick hers is the primary and mine is secondary, if both are in the car it defaultsto hers, If she forgets hers it will pick mine up. Or you can select manually which one you want to use. It will default back to the primary when the truck is turned off and back on.

The primary phone will take precedence. I set up my phone as the primary in both vehicles as if I'm in either of them, I'm driving and want to use Android Auto rather than Apple Car (or whatever it is called).
