    Not sure if this can be done or not, but from what I'm reading it "should" be possible..

    I have two cell phones (both Android, if that matters). One personal, and one for work. The work phone has unlimited data, so what I'd like to do is this:
    Have both devices connect at the same time via BT to my Entune Nav radio.
    The personal phone handles phone calls, and nothing else.
    The work phone runs the Entune app, and handles data for Pandora, etc.

    I can get both phones connected, but I can't seem to find the right combination of settings to accomplish what I'm trying to do.

    It seems like if I go into the BT settings on the personal phone and set it to sharing "phone only", and set the work one to everything except "phone" that it should work, but as soon as I turn off voice sharing from the work phone Entune drops.

    Has anyone tried a similar setup and made it work?

    Update your firmware on both phones (android) I had a Samsung that would always drop pairing with truck until I recently like in the last month go an update from Samsung now everything works as expected and great too .. yes you should be able to use one phone for talk the other for tunes just can't set them both for phone, I don't think.. my wife has a phone as do I and they both are recognized but I don't mess with it too much like what you want to do.... I mainly listen to the same CD over and over :anonymous:

    That should work. I had my truck set up to handle my calls/texts and my wife's phone to stream music.

    Yeah but Android.. Mine was TERRIBLE for the 1st year until the updated software. It would drop if I even thought it might drop pair.
