Multiple phones?

My 330e has a panic attack the other day when I tried to connect my iPhone for music (CarPlay) but my work phone was connected as telephone, I ended up with no phone connection from either and had to delete both. Has anyone found a way to have a phone on Bluetooth (Samsung) and a iPhone on CarPlay WiFi/plugged in so I can answer calls off of each without having to change connection?

I believe that you need the "Enhanced Bluetooth" option to have two phones connected simultaneously.
With Enhanced Bluetooth, I have two Iphones connected via Bluetooth - one via Carplay and the other directly to the car. Not tried it connecting one via a cable.

Ahh I didn't get that, is it something that can be unlocked? Or does it require additional parts during build? I don't understand why one can't connect via WiFi in the car as that's how my iPhone does the car play, WiFi and Bluetooth for the other...

Yeah, I’ve had the same issue with my private phone and work phone which I need both with me through the working week.

All my musics on my private phone and all my work contacts are on my work phone so I either listen to music and not take work calls or take work calls and don’t listen to music...... I love music I do.

Only feasible work around I've got so far is to autodivert work phone to personal phone when call isn't answered that way it comes through and I only have to have one phone assigned to the car not perfect but solves the issue for now

Great idea, I’ll try that in the morning.

Thanks

Just a thought - Why dont you connect your phone with the music you need by usb - leave your work phone set up as carplay ?

It's the other way round, my personal phone is iPhone the work phone is android. My workaround has worked since, just divert the work phone through to personal phone when it's not answered
