Communication identification between portable electronic devices and a motor vehicle

A method for initiating a projection session between one of a plurality of mobile devices and an infotainment system of a motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:

• establishing communications with each of the plurality of mobile devices by pairing with each of the plurality of mobile devices via Bluetooth®;
• identifying each of the plurality of devices against the predetermined priority such that each of the plurality of devices identified with a predetermined priority is assigned the predetermined priority;
• prioritizing each of the plurality of devices from highest to lowest based on the predetermined priority;
• reading a projection configuration of the one of the plurality of devices with the highest priority;
• attempting a connection between the one of the plurality of devices with the highest priority and the infotainment system of the motor vehicle based on the projection configuration by linking the one of the plurality of devices and the infotainment system via a short-range wireless communications protocol;
• and
• establishing a short-range wireless projection communications session between the one of the plurality of devices with the highest priority and the infotainment system of the motor vehicle.
