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.

Yeah, I had the same problem with my own phone and its bluetooth 
headsets. Everything was working perfectly fine for a long time and then 
all of a sudden one day it started having this problem, with no changes 
made by me or anything. It's likely due to a phone OS update that may 
have borked the Bluetooth handling. Nothing you can do about it unless 
Apple or Android release some kind of a fix to Bluetooth.
