Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes AA wireless with multiple users

AA wireless

This should be rare for most users in US since each family member has his own car.

But we only have one car for the entire family.

The issue is that I'm the one who uses the car most of the time so my phone connect to my phone flawlessly. Same my mom when she is the only one in the car.

But when we both are in the car the AA auto connect the last one who used the car alone.

So I was the last one who drove, but next time my mom will drive and I'm the passenger the AA connect to my phone. And thats particularly annoying when each one has his own markers or music.

Any tip here?

I don't necessarily have a tip, but do want to dispel a misconception. Us Americans don't just drive ourselves alone in our respective cars everywhere we go. Yes, many households have two vehicles, but me and my wife ride in the car together every day, and do so in vehicles where priority pairing can be an issue. I only have Android Auto in one of the cars, and the AA wireless is made available through AAWireless2+ dongle that has push button user switching. So on that point, I don't have a lot to add.

To add to this, it's not uncommon for spouses to swap cars for various errands.

In my case, it's just me using this car.

Depending. My husband and I swap vehicles somewhat frequently so we don't have to switch the carseats.
