Is there a way to set up CarPlay such that there is a phone tied to the driver profile. So if we both get in the car, it doesn't default to the last phone but rather to profile chosen?

I feel like my wife and I constantly have to change whose phone is connected manually

You can assign your phone to a profile only if you use PAAK, and I find that it still doesnā€™t always connect to the right phone.

Thanks. Right - we are having that issue despite having our phones linked to our profiles. A minor inconvenience, but would still like to see if anyone has had success.

Partner and I had iPhone 10's and had them assigned to the profiles. We upgraded this past year to iPhone 16's. In 2.5 years I think I only recall once or maybe twice where the wrong profile/wrong phone pulled up. It it always gets me, the driver. And truth be told that is me about 99% of the time as it's really my truck and I drive all the time.

Iā€™ve been searching for an answer to this too, because for us itā€™s frequently an annoyance. If my wife drove it last and itā€™s parked near the house, it tries to connect to her phone even though Iā€™m in the truck. It either never connects to CarPlay on my phone or is dreadfully slow to do so.
