    Hi all,
    I have a 2017 DCSB Sport with the JBL system. I successfully paired my iPhone and my iPod to the radio, but it seems I can only use one or the other but not both. What I mean is, while listening to music with the iPod, my phone will not wireless connect if I receive or make a call. To use the phone, I have to disconnect the iPod. My previous vehicle was an FJ Cruiser and this was not an issue with the bluetooth radio in it. Is there a solution? Thanks

    I have the ability when going into "audio" to select device. I pair my work phone as my phone and my personal phone for music.

    Don't know if it's because it is an iPod but try accessing "select device" via the audio option.

    Not trying to be rude or anything. But since you have an IPhone can't you just listen to your music on that since it's essentially the same thing as the ipod?

    If you press the select device on your radio while you have Bluetooth selected it should show all the paired devices , next to them will have a phone icon and music icon. Press the phone icon for you iphone and music icon for iPod.

    Your radio can only connect to 1 device via bluetooth at a time..... It will either pick up your iPhone or iPod, not both of them at the same time.

    I would turn the wifi off on the iPod and connect it thru the lighting cable or aux in.

    Run your iPod with a usb cable, and your iPhone on BT. Problem solved.

    Yes I could, but to save space on my phone I don’t have nearly as much music on it as my iPod....

    In the Toyota FJ I had, you could have both at the same time. If the phone rang, the music would cut out as I answered the phone.....

    You can connect 2 devices on the Taco but only one as audio and the other as phone. You can't have two set for audio or two set to phone. I do it regularly.
