New Q5 Owner, Question on multiple devices using Bluetooth w/Nav
I have been reading at the forums this week and I just picked up my Q5 today. Very excited about it!
I have a question on bluetooth. I paired my android phone just fine to bluetooth. The dealer said up to four devices would pair simultaneously. Is that true? Can I have my phone paired, and someone else in the car have an iPad paired and stream music from it?
Thanks for any input about using multiple devices via bluetooth you can give me.

I got it working. Here are the results.
I can use the phone only on my Android phone while streaming audio from the iPad. In order to stream audio from the phone, I had to turn off the Bluetooth on the iPad then pair streaming on the phone. To go back to the iPad, I had to turn off Bluetooth on the phone, pair the iPad, then turn Bluetooth on again on the phone to get the phone part working again.
I was hoping I could have them both connected and just change sources, but apparently Bluetooth only will pair with one streaming source at a time.

Thanks for that, spijun.
I have run into a problem having both the iPad and the phone blue-tooth paired for streaming. If the iPad pairs first, the phone will not pair for phone services. I will be deleting the phone, then pairing it again only for phone services and not audio streaming. I really don't need to stream anything off the phone, so that will work fine.
