smartwatches and infotainment connection

jcpharm said:

does anyone own a smartwatch (apple watch or android wear) and if so do you have trouble connecting your phone to the bluetooth in the car when your smartwatch is connected to your phone already?

thanks everyone - i use a Nexus 6P and Asus zenwatch 3 (android wear) and the car cannot connect to the "phone" portion (ie. can't take calls or texts) but can play audio (music). if i disconnect the watch (disable bluetooth on it), the car can reconnect to the phone portion.

Think it has to do with the audio connection between your watch and the phone. Try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect&hl=en

I believe that is it. I did have the issue you speak of when I had my huawei watch. But basically, just set your Mazda as a priority(move it up all the way to the top of the list), and when your phone senses the car trying to connect to your phone, the phone and car will take preference.
