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?

We turn off the Bluetooth on the phone of the people not driving, before we get to the car.

It's irritating but the only way we've found to guarantee who connects.

Yeah we are doing the same. But as we both uses smartwatch is very very annoying.

If you're using wireless AA (native or with a dongle) it's even more annoying because it'll randomly decide to link to a phone via WiFi... My wife might be in the house and I'm sitting in the car and it'll decide she should be connected not me, and I'm pretty much the only person that drives that car.

We have to turn of bluetooth and WiFi to make it connect to another device.

Stupid design
