![]() We are simply establishing a distinction between the way different source units work. Let’s be clear: Two phones are always better than one. The driver may not be able to answer calls on the second device, but can stream from such sources as Pandora, iHeartRadio, Spotify or Apple Music. The second type of “dual phone” connectivity pairs one phone as a hands-free device and a second phone as an audio source to be used for playing music. As such, the system allows the driver to answer calls received on either device by pressing the Send/End button on the radio face or the steering wheel. The first type allows two devices to share the hands-free capabilities of the radio. There are two types of “dual phone support” systems on the market. If you’re making calls using the phone list on the screen, this is a great feature. As an aside, the radio may check the contacts in the phone and automatically download new names and phone numbers right after the connection is established. Depending on the radio, users can set a priority so that a preferred device is always connected first. When the radio boots up, it goes through this list of paired devices and searches for them to re-establish a Bluetooth connection. Pairing your phone to a new car radio is as easy as searching for it in the Bluetooth menu. Years ago, this was a complicated process that involved putting the radio into “paring mode.” Now, the Secure Simple Pairing (SSP) interface makes this process much simpler and eliminates the need to go through complicated steps on the radio. In most cases, this step involves going into the Bluetooth menu of your phone and looking for the radio. The pairing process involves establishing an initial connection between your radio and your phone. ![]() Phone Pairing Optionsįor many years, car radios have offered the ability to pair with at as many as five Bluetooth devices. Let’s look at this subject with a little more detail. With that said, depending on the brand of radio you choose, that’s not necessarily how dual Bluetooth or dual phone support works. At a quick glance, the ability to connect two phones to a single radio seems like a great solution for a family where the parents will be travelling in the vehicle at the same time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please remember to restrict product promotion posts to 10% or less of your total combined self and link posts as per reddit spam guidelines.In recent years, car radio manufacturers have added simultaneous dual Bluetooth phone support.
