    I have two mobile phones: a personal one and one for my work. They are both paired with the Bluetooth system in my car and work fine. However, there seems to be no way to select which one is active - in fact if both phones are turned on, it seems to be pot luck as which one actually connects to the hands-free. With the cheap aftermarket hands-free widget I had for my previous car, I could switch between phones at the touch of a button. Now, with my new A4, if one phone is active and the other phone rings, I either have to igore the call or quickly find somewhere to pull over!

    Either I'm being stupid and can't figure out how to do this, or Audi have been monumentally stupid and have not included this as a feature. Can anyone tell me which it is?!

    I have exactly the same problem. My old Parrot system was excellent flick between the two. I also had use of a new C Class beofre the A4, again you could do it no problem.

    Unfortunelty i can't see a way you can do it with this system. Shame as you would think this MMI should be able to cope with the feature.

    I'm glad it's not just me! Even more annoyingly, if I disable the Bluetooth on the phone that's current active, the car doesn't always automatically link to the other phone. I've even tried re-booting the car (AKA turning the engine off, removing the key and restarting) but the other phone still won't always connect. If I then re-enable Bluetooth on the first phone, I sometimes can't get it to connect again, so end up with no handsfree at all.

    Is this the type of thing that Audi might fix in a later software release? Edinburgh Audi haven't been very helpful, and Audi customer services (when I eventually managed to find a telephone number for them) weren't much better.
