   This is what annoys me about bluetooth: there's no way to control   
   prioritisation. What you describe is exactly what happens when I'm in the   
   garden (or even in the house sometimes) listening to music or podcasts over   
   my bt headphones and then my wife drives past in the car. My audio suddenly   
   cuts out and I have to manually re-set my audio output. If there's an   
   active bt audio connection, it should never supersede it with another.
