    I am hoping there has been some new info found since I last looked a couple years ago.

    Anyone discover a way to overcome the limitation of the Prius only auto-connecing to one phone until you select another phone?

    (Example: it detects my phone everytime I get in the car but when my wife drives it it won't detect hers unless you go through the menu and select that phone)

    Thank You!:)

    You have to select the default phone. Then it will auto-connect if set for that.

    There is no way to auto-connect two phones, only one at a time.

    Thanks.
    I appreciate the response.
    I was hoping a work around had been discovered but I guess not on this one.
    Thanks again.

    There isn't a work around because it's not considered a problem. It was designed this way to avoid a potential race condition with two auto-paired phones.

    there should be a way to just make it default in the order they're added
