Multiple phones in car bluetooth question

Does bluetooth have a "primary" and "secondary" phone when you pair more than one to the car? If my wife and I are in the car, both with paired phones, and I press the voice command button and say "dial Dad"...which list is it going to go for...my phone's list of Dad or her phone's list of Dad?
Same principle for scrolling through phonebook entries on the radio screen...which list is it looking at...can I toggle between them?

there's a primary and secondary, you'd have to manually tell it to pair with the secondary phone

So then once the secondary phone is paired, it will boot the primary off? Until the car is restarted? Until the primary is re-paired?

So, this would also mean that if we are both riding in the car, we couldn't have calls from both phones come through the car...just whichever one is paired, correct?

This is how it works on my car. I have IDRIVE
Phones
1-Razor
2-SX66

Phone 1 was paired first so I Assume its Primary. A few weeks later phone 2 paired. Phone 1 was turned off.
When I turn on car it tries to connect to primary phone, if it isnt found it connects to 2nd phone. I can switch between phone 1 and phone 2 by

A. Turning off phone 1
B. Going into the communications settings and making phone 2 primary.
