    Anyone tried making a call from the car when it has two paired phones present in the car?

    Is it capable of connecting to two or more phones at once, and if so, how does the car decide which phone to use when you make a call?

    One at a time. Seems to pick up the previous one used when two are in proximity.

    So if the only phone present is not the one previously used, but it is paired, the car will use bluetooth with that phone? That is improvement: our experience with 2 (paired) phones on a 2010, to switch to the second phone requires some work within the menus.

    You can pair many phones at once. In the Bluetooth phone setup screen you can choose between them to select which one will be used for audio and which one for phone calls. Only one will be used for each service.

    It will. At least mine does with my phone and my wife's. But the car should see only one when started. It will enable selected profiles in visible phone when it was first paired.
