I'm one of "those people" who carries two phones. I just prefer to keep work and personal separate. One of the things that I find disappointing with the Sync is that it does not seem to be able to have both phones be "active" at the same time. I can connect either phone to make calls, but have to go in and manually switch them. This means that if I happen to receive a call on the "inactive" phone, it does not come through on the handsfree.

I have had previous vehicles (GM) where you could have two phones active - one would be active for everything (calls and audio), while the other was only active for incoming calls. This was a much nicer solution.

This is just on my mind because a new Michigan law went into effect this weekend and basically makes touching your phone while driving illegal. So if I get a call on the "inactive" phone, I can't even (legally) answer it quickly and then try to make that phone active.

Don't think anyone really has a solution for this (unless I am missing something), but if Ford is watching, this is an improvement that should be made.

At some point, we got an update that enabled exactly that. We can have two different devices active now. Maybe check to make sure you have the latest update?

I use Apple, wife android and we can both be paired (neither can use android auto or CarPlay and use both phones )

I have two iPhones and use both in the bronco and 23 escape (can’t use CarPlay and have both connected)

Really. Interesting. I typically use CarPlay so I'm probably not seeing that functionality. Good to know.

It must be the car play. Picked mine up today and the dealer showed me how to run both my work and personal phone, but CarPlay was not active. Once you hit CarPlay it defaulted to just one active.
