Use wifi and 3g in the same time

Hi all,

i've bought a car device through which i can send music from my iphone/ipad via airplay.

The problem is that once i activate wifi and connect to the car-device wireless network my iphone try to use that network for all the other tcp/ip sessions ( email, whatsapp, imessage, etc )...and it doesn't work because the device is not connected to internet.

I'm looking for a workaround for use both connection (wifi for airplay and 3g for all the others protocols)

Multipath TCP seems to be implemented only for SIRI at the moment.

Thanks in advance

iOS 7.1, wifi and 3g contemporary sessions

You cannot use wi-fi and cellular data simultaneously.

You cannot have a wi-fi connection and cellular data connection activate at the same time. It's one or the other.

as TJBUSMC1973 said You cannot use wi-fi and cellular data simultaneous as WIFI always gets priority
