For anyone that purchased a Uconnect 5 radio to upgrade their vehicle. The Uconnect 5s have wireless Carplay and Android Auto. This means two phones could be connected at the same time. The radio gives you the ability to set one phone as Favorite 1 and the second phone as Favorite 2. What may be surprising is once both phones have been connected to the vehicle, you'll need to go into device manager and check mark "Two Active Phones" as well as select the type of option you want each phone to contribute to the radio. Either communications (text & phone calls), Music, and Apps. Select which phone you want to be able to play music while the other phone allows apps like Maps to work on the radio screen. Both phones can't use an option as the same time but both phones can have a feature turned off. Such as Apps in the picture example below.
