In that particular car, if it didn't pair when first starting up, it wouldn't automatically pair later. Because of that, I unpaired my cell from the Panasonic base. That was an older car and I haven't tried it with a more recent model. Perhaps a newer cell phone would pair with multiple "bases"? That might have been an original Motorola Droid! Also, I suspect if I had located the Panasonic base further from my garage, so the Bluetooth connection would drop before I got to the car, that would have solved the problem.
