Default Bluetooth reconnecting, sweet!

This is probably explained in detail in the manual, but I had a very pleasant Bluetooth event this morning.

I was on a conf call, initiated through the car's bluetooth on my 2014 Q5 TDI. I had to make a stop that lasted roughly 2 minutes and was about 50 yards? from my car. I had turned the engine off, and the phone was still in my pocket (ie. not in the car)

After my stop, I returned to the car, started the engine up. My conf call immediately reconnected without any further action on my part. Now, I know from prior calls that when I exit the car, the call automatically reverts to my phone. What was new is that it reverted BACK to the car without me doing anything.

That's my tidbit for the day.

I love the same thing about my 14 q5.
I owned a 2008 Ml and couldn't do that.

If I was on the phone in my ML
I couldn't leave the car until the
call ended without losing my connection.

Similar in my Q5. I've been dumbfounded by the range of the BT connection from this car, the other day it tried to grab a phone call when I was on the opposite side of a concrete building.

And I haven't heard one complaint about road noise or tunnels. Apparently I should not need to know where the BT microphone in the car is, I'm guessing somewhere between the radio and AC clusters.

I use the Pandora APP to stream music in my Q5, and the other day, I didn't have my phone near the car, and the media started playing the song that was in the playlist on my phone. It wasn't until I was about 2 blocks away from the house that the music stopped playing. I was certainly surprised.
