Thank you for taking time for these videos they are very helpful. Question about handsfree calling. We have two phones that are connected to Bluetooth. If phone 1 getting a call it works on the car, but the car won't take a call on phone 2 even though the phone is known to the car and Bluetooth is on. Same if 1 is connected to Android auto you can't seem to say that the other phone can receive calls on Bluetooth as well. Is it what it is, or am I missing something?

[@belletoyota]

Most vehicles that have the bluetooth connection can pair/save multiple devices for convenience, so everytime that device is near it doesn't have to pair. Only one device can be used at a time in regards to taking/making calls, or playing music apps. However, if you have a Toyota that has the Multi-Media system that has wireless connection, under Manage Devices: 1 device can connect via apple car play/android auto, the other device use for phone & media - this lets you connect both phones to receive calls in the vehicle. To make calls, the one connected via apple carplay/android auto, uses Siri/Google (press and hold call button) rather than the voice command of the vehicle (just press).
