Default Suggestions needed for making bluetooth connection easier for 2nd phone

Hey everyone

I am annoyed that bluetooth does not automatically connect to a second paired phone. Whenever the wife borrowes my car, I have to go in and tell it to use the second phone on the list, it takes 5 clicks but wife does not want to learn it and is annoying, is there a better way or is it supposed to automatically connect to a second phone if the 1st is not sensed?

i vote for having it choose a phone and autoadjust to seat/mirror position depending on which key fob approaches the car.

Actually, the system is designed to pair up to the phone it was last connected with first. If you are in your GS alone, when started, eventually your phone will be recognized by the car as long as the other phone isnt inside the vehicle with the bluetooth turned on.

Actually, it connects to the last phone it connected to....so if she picks her phone, then when I get in "Bluetooth connection failed" comes up....it shoudl just pick one or if it senses both, have a prompt.....Oh well
