Bluetooth for 2?
Since we both have Bluetooth phones, will they both integrate with the cars module?
If so, what will happen if we're both in the car at the same time(both phones on board)?
In the same vein, what key will be recognized for driver memory settings if we're both entering the car?

The car will recognize the last phone the comand was paired to. So if you were the last one to drive the car with BT paired then your phone will be pair again when both of you and your wife are in the car together with the both of the phones on.

Re the phones... I don't have/use bluetooth, but I seem to remember that with every bluetooth device, you have to synch up that device with the particular unit sending info to it... in the same vein, you have to synch up a phone to the bluetooth puck, so that it only communicates with that phone and not ANY phone that is nearby, or walking past. I'm sure they designed it to synch up with only 1 phone at a time.

There MUST be some kind of default setting, or "Fail Safe" when this condition occurs, because I seem to remember that the manual stated in my '04 NOT to have the 2 keys in the car at the same time. So the car must have a way to "boot up" & choose memory settings, etc..

You CAN have both keys in the car. That's why I'm sure there is some "formula" (as far as which memory set to load) the car follows when they ARE both in the car. I'm sure ONE of the keys is considered the primary or driver # 1 key. On my '04, the steel key ("Valet") release slide buttons where different colors. (One was black, one was gray... & I know you can order additional color coded release buttons). So the car MUS designate one or the other of them as the # 1 Key.
