Default In Vehicle Bluetooth - two phones?

Does anyone know if the in vehicle bluetooth system can handle two bluetooth connections at the same time? I've got two cell phones that I carry with me at all times (work and personal).

you can pair both phones to your car, i think it allows up to 5 phones, but only one will be active in the car. so if you are married and have a 3rd phone and you have all 3 phones in the car at once only one will sync. if i recall you can make one primary over the other? i have the same situation and i dont recall what i did but when i first got the car it was random on the phone it connected to first. i choose the business phone for my primary and if i only had my personal phone with me the phone connected since i didnt have my other phone. you wouldnt want your personal phone ringing on the handsfree when you are in the middle of another call on your business phone.

how do you like the system? i found with my last work phone thru sprint most couldnt hear me. we have verizon now and it seems to be much better and clearer. strange but that is what everyone is saying? good luck with it!

thanks for the replies.

I like the system a lot. Sound quality is really good - I have verizon. everyone i've asked have said that they had no idea it was a handsfree phone system.

AT&T + Razr = terrible sound quality on both ends.

okay if you put two phones into the system it will pair up with the last phone that was connected with the system. I also have two phone on the bluetooth and i been using my jarbone for my work phone and the bluetooth for my personal.

I have the opposite situation. One phone, 2 BT devices (car / headset) My BT headset is a Plantronics Voyager 855. My phone is a Sprint Mogul (PPC-6800). The Voyager must be off in order for my IS's BT to work.

Strangely enough, the car BT worked flawlessly until I began using the Voyager a few days ago. Now the audio is sometimes choppy. Somehow the two devices are in contention.

I think he's referring to the Jawbone headset.
