Bluetooth connection... Phone and iPod Touch

I must be doing something wrong. I read the manual and can't figure out how to connect two devices to automatically start correctly. I use a Samsung Galaxy phone for calls and have an iPod Touch for music. I have both devices connected in MMI and they both shoe up as "Bonded Devices". Now the issue. When I start my car out will connect the Galaxy as both phone and music... I needed to go into the MMI to select the iPod as the music player. If my phone is off the MMI will connect the iPod to both the phone and music.

How can I get MMI to select the Galaxy as the phone and iPod for music without the needed to manually select each time.

In this case I don't think there is any way around the issue. You will have to select each time.

I gave up on this and started using the iPod via AMI cable and the phone via BT.

That is what I do... Just with the AMI came for the iPod lightning connection was longer. Will need to find a extension cable.

The Apple lightning to dock adapter works well for audio if I'm not mistaken.

My AMI cable is already a lighting connection. I just would like to have a longer connection than the 5" AMI cable.

In your phone settings, check under BT connection and select "Phone Only". It may be titled something else but there are 2 selections and one is for BT music. Make sure that one is unchecked.
