Use of Multiple Phones via Bluetooth

Hi guys, so my dad was wondering if there was any way he can use both of his cell phones at the same time (One is a Galaxy Note 3, the other an iPhone5C) in his C250. I read the literature and it seems only one phone can be used at a time. Is there any way the system can be extended, say by an external speaker or something like that?

Both mine and my wife's iphones are programmed in the C350.....unfortunately only 1 can be active at anytime.....the same goes with Lexus.

yeah thats the part i'm trying to get around. Is there any way to do that? Short of using a bluetooth headset for his other phone (he hates those things).

Does he want to receive calls from both? If so he can call forward one phone to the other. Unfortunately he can only dial out from one though.

I have the same issue and no it cannot be done the car will be in an active pairing with only one phone at a time. And it is random which one it is though my I-phone 4S seems to be the one that pairs first.

maybe he can try the call forwarding thing. I'll set that up for him and see how it goes

This is a big miss...surely technology exists where more than one phone could be connected to BT at a given time.

Yes there is, it's called BT multipoint. I've only seen a few BT headsets that support it and I've never heard of an integrated car system that supports it yet. If Ford/Hyundai/Anybody else doesn't have it, then there's no way in hell MB has it.... it'll take MB about 3-5 years to implement after everybody else does.
