Default switching between bluetooth phones for media

is there a shortcut way to switch between available/paired bluetooth connections for media playback? often times my frequent passenger wants to play music or podcasts from his phone and its a big pain digging into settings to choose a new device.

my alternative will be...

MMI 3.5mm AUX Micro USB Charge Adapter Cable Connector
Amazon.com: D-TECH Micro USB music Interface Adapter Cable FOR AUDI A3 A4 A5 AMI MDI MMI system 30cm,Audi A4 A5 S5 A6 A8 Q7 / Vw Jetta GTI GLI Jetta Passat Cc Tiguan Touareg EOS / Skoda Superb Octavia Fabia / Seat 2009-2013,Audi A3/A4/A5/ A6/A8/S4/S6/S8/ Q5/Q7/R8/ TT and Volkswagen Jetta/ GTI/ GLI/ Passat/ CC/ Tiguan/ Touareg/EOS: Computers & Accessories Amazon.com: D-TECH Micro USB music Interface Adapter Cable FOR AUDI A3 A4 A5 AMI MDI MMI system 30cm,Audi A4 A5 S5 A6 A8 Q7 / Vw Jetta GTI GLI Jetta Passat Cc Tiguan Touareg EOS / Skoda Superb Octavia Fabia / Seat 2009-2013,Audi A3/A4/A5/ A6/A8/S4/S6/S8/ Q5/Q7/R8/ TT and Volkswagen Jetta/ GTI/ GLI/ Passat/ CC/ Tiguan/ Touareg/EOS: Computers & Accessories

(and) HomeSpot NFC-enabled Bluetooth Audio Receiver for Car Audio
Amazon.com : HomeSpot NFC-enabled Bluetooth Audio Receiver for Car Audio : Wireless Cell Phone Car Speakerphones : Electronics Amazon.com : HomeSpot NFC-enabled Bluetooth Audio Receiver for Car Audio : Wireless Cell Phone Car Speakerphones : Electronics

this will let my phone stay the connected phone to mmi and his phone will stay connected to AUX bluetooth receiver and a easy switch between media inputs in mmi with the toggle switch an no fussing with setting sub menus.

I just found this one by accident when I was looking at your links. It is expensive but it would solve the problem, which I have also with my kids.

This device is inexpensive and connects on the ipod 30 pin AMI connector. $13

There are even cheaper ones, but this was the first I found. I use these generic devices on older ipod dock music players.

those look interesting, especially if the bose one will still allow the pause, forward+reverse buttons to work. not sure if my solution will.

but the initial question still remains... does audi's bluetooth connections have a shortcut i've missed to toggle between two paired phones.

No shortcut. You go to MMI settings "bluetooth devices", select the device and tell it to connect.
