How can I tell the iPhone which bluetooth is the one in my car?

My car did not come with bluetooth pre-installed. I installed a bluetooth device on my car's visor. There are various features on the iPhone like Siri and Maps that can do things based on when you enter/leave the car. For example, Maps can automatically track where you park when you leave your car. Siri can remind you to do things when you enter/leave your car. I've been searching for a way to tell the iPhone that my HUM bluetooth device is the one in my car but I've been unable to find anything. I'm guessing that when the bluetooth device is built into the car the iPhone just automatically knows that it belongs to your car. What I'm trying to figure out is how to manually select what bluetooth device belongs to my car. Any ideas if this is possible?

iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.1

Lpoking for the same answer. You would think there would be a way to select a bluetooth device as "My Car Device". As a substitute, does anyone know of any visor type bluetooth speakerphones that would portray itself as a carplay device? I'm not looking to replace my entire stereo system (Every time I've done that my vehicle's been broken into).
