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. 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. Yousuf Khan
