•For identification purposes, you will be prompted to
give the UConnectsystem a name for your cellular
phone. Each cellular phone that is paired should be
given a unique phone name.
•You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a
priority level between one and seven, with one being
the highest priority. You can pair up to seven cellular
phones to your UConnect system. However, at any
given time, only one cellular phone can be in use,
connected to your UConnect system. The priority
allows the UConnect system to know which cellular
phone to use if multiple cellular phones are in the
vehicle at the same time. For example, if priority three
and priority five phones are present in the vehicle, the

phone when you make a call. You can select to use a
