Hi,

I should have been clearer in my initial post. For the first year I owned the car, my phone worked fine through Bluetooth, and handled the use of the car audio correctly when on a call.
I know the car/phone combination _can_ work correctly.

Something changed (probably on the phone, as the car has little in the way of customizeability), and it now acts differently. I deleted the phone, and re-paired it, but the behavior is the same: when I recieve a call while driving (phone connected via Bluetooth to the car) the car audio rings, and even tells me who is calling, but when I answer, the car/phone switches over to phone audio, and I have to manually press the 'Transfer to phone' button to get audio in the car.

I usually do not need to charge my phone and hook it up to USB in the car during the day, as my phone battery lasts multiple days.

Sincerely,
Duane
