Question How to switch Bluetooth music device (music - not HFL)

I did a search and didn't see this addressed. Also did not see it in the manual.

I have two phones paired to my TL. Even though there are two devices paired, obviously there is only one device connected at a time.

I know how to change which device is connected to HFL (phone menu, setup, search for next device). This only changes the phone for HFL, not for Bluetooth audio streaming.

How do I change the device connected to Bluetooth for audio streaming?(changing HFL does not change Bluetooth audio streaming)

Turn off Bluetooth on the device you don't want to stream from.

Turning off the Bluetooth on one of the phones will definitely work.

But is there no option to switch audio devices from the head unit?

Thanks for your help jimmy. I'm familiar with pressing the HD/AUX button to switch sources from AUX to USB to Bluetooth.

Are you saying that this button can also be used to toggle between two connected Bluetooth audio devices?

This is perhaps the most confusing question on Bluetooth devices. I struggled with this topic and found nothing to answer my question. I would drive out of range of my wife of my wife connected iPhone to connect my android phone. This was my work sound until I finally figured it out.

1. Click the PHONE button on the lower right side.
2..Push the large ENTER knob downward to select the PHONE SETUP selection on your screen.
3. SELECT 1 for CONNECTION
4.At the Connection screen, turn the knob to select the CONNECTION button on your screen.
5. At this screen you will see a list of paired phone devices. Turn the knob to select your phone device.


After your phone device is active. You can also view quickly checked the active phone device by selecting the BLUETOOTH follow by the TITLE button. The active phone is displayed.

I hope this helps.
