to make calls, send/receive text messages  
and wirelessly play media from the vehicle, or  
connect the vehicle to the Internet.

the same time, but in that case, only one will  
be used for wireless playback. The most  
recently paired phone will be automatically  
connected to make calls, send/receive text  
messages, play media or use as an Internet  
connection. It is possible to change what the  
phone is used for under Bluetooth Devices  
via the settings menu in the center display's  
Top view. The cellular phone must be equip-  
ped with Bluetooth and support tethering.
