2 iPhones: one for carplay via usb A and one for music. How?

[christiaan]

I use my iPhone connected with Apple carplay for navigation and would like to use the iPhone of my wife to play music. I can connect her phone to the usb c port , but that doesnt work. If i connect her phone with bluetooth it works but disconnects my phone.
Is there a set up to use two iPhones at the same time, one for Apple carplay and navigation and one to play music?

I use CarPlay for Apple navigation and music via Spotify at the same time. I don’t understand why you would need to use 2 phones? Is it because there is downloaded music only on your wife’s phone?

I don’t think it’s possible to connect 2 phones simultaneously.

I'm also wondering why you need to connect 2 phones. admittedly mines an android, but I can play music and use the other phone functions

There's a socket for one phone to connect via, but that can be overidden by any other phones in the car taking over via bluetooth. If you really need more than one phone at a time, you may need to trade up to a way more expensive vehicle with simultaneous connection options for owner and chauffeur.

The only thing that I can think of would be to use dongles (USB-C to auxiliary) and auxiliary to whatever charging port your partner has on her phone. Can't say for sure that this would work but definitely worth a try! Don't forgot to buy an aux cord though!
