Hey All!

2016 Regal Turbo owner here...wondering if there is anyway to set a favorite Bluetooth device? Beyond annoyed with it connecting to the finances phone over mine every single time we are in the car together. Quite a flaw.
 
I've never had that problem; my wife has never even been in my Regal.
We take her GMC Terrain everywhere we go together.
Myself, I'd prefer to be in my Regal with all the luxuries of home, her
Terrain doesn't have a lot of options!

Not 100% sure, but I don't think there is a way to set a favorite device.
I've looked in the Manual and it tells me to look in the Infotainment Manual.
I don't seem to have a Infotainment Manual in the house, I'll have to look
out in the car, but I don't recall ever seeing one.

One way around having her device connect first is to have her Turn the
Bluetooth on her phone OFF before entering the car.
She should be able to turn it back on once you've connected your phone.
 
Maybe this will help: If multiple paired cell phones are within range of the system, the system connects to the paired cell phone in the order that they were last used in the system. To link to a different paired phone, see “Linking to a Different Phone” later in this section
Here is a link to the Infotainment System Manual
As you can see; I ended up finding it online, never had to check my car.
 
If you look at the device list on the screen, maybe the first one listed takes priority over the 2...
