Actually, David, I hate to bust your bubble, but I own about 4 different model bluetooth headsets, and every single one of them work whereby I can answer on the phone with a 2 finger double tap, or by hitting the answer button on the headset, and in both contexts, if the headset is in range, powered on, and is connected, it'll come through the headset, not the phone. So, unless I am not understanding what you're saying, that's not altogether true about it working the same with headsets.

If she touches the phone, the phone answers. It is the same when using a bluetooth earpiece. You can have the phone switch to the car after the call has been answered.

In my fiancé's car, the audio system handles the call. Both of us can talk with the caller. The car's mic is properly placed to pick up the people in the front seats. The caller's voice comes over the car's audio speakers.

My grandmother just got a new car. It's a 2015 Toyoda Corola. Anyway, this is the very very first vehicle that I've had the chance to ride in on a regular basis that has bluetooth ability. All the cars that both my mom and grandmother have had before this didn't have bluetooth. Anyway, we got my phone pared to her car with absolutely no problem. Unfortunately, the controls on her dashboard are totally touch screen, so I can't opperate the car stereo at all. I can't even adjust the volume, as even that! is all touch screen. Sucks, but whatever. My grandmother can do that part for me. Anyway, my grandmother is probably by far the most computer illiterate person I've ever known, and honestly she doesn't even have the slightest desire to learn. If her car didn't have bluetooth, it would have served her just fine. She didn't special request it, as much as it just so happened to have it. I think most cars now adays come pretty standard with it. Anyway, here's my question. On her radio console dashboard screen after first turning on her car, she has an icon that says source. If she touches on source, she then gets 3 options provided my phone is connected, which it always normally will be. She gets, FM, A.M, and Audio. Audio is basically what they're naming the bluetooth. In other words, if she taps on source, then taps on Audio, then my phone audio, be it Voiceover, be it music, whatever comes through her car speakers. It's really awesome. Apple Music through her car stereo baby! And you'd be shocked if you've never heard Bluetooth audio in a car playing music. The sound is actually super crystal! clear. Anyway, being my phone connects via bluetooth automatically to her car when I get inside, this means that my phone's internal speaker stops working since everything now is being routed to bluetooth instead. So, if she's got the FM radio going for instance, then obviously, I can't hear Voiceover nor anything at all on my phone. So, what happens if I get a phone call, or need to make! a call? Yes, she has the controls on her steering wheel to answer and hang up, as well as voice command, but again, non techy. She thinks in her words, I'll fowl up the car where it won't even drive if I start pushing buttons. Those are her words, not mine. I know, it's pathetic. Anyway, point is, someone told me that if I get a call, even if she's on the radio, she won't have to manually switch the source over to bluetooth audio. I'm told that the car should automatically detect an incoming call, and switch the source over to bluetooth audio without the need for she nor I to do anything. Then, when the call is disconnected, it'll then go back to the radio source. I don't think she even can! switch the source while she's driving. I don't think it'll letter. I think it's a safety mechinism. She has to be stopped, and in park for it to work. If she's in drive, reverse, or neutral it won't work. Well, in reverse, she has one a those camera things to show'er what's behind her, so the screen totally goes off the menu at that point as it's just then a viewfinder. Anyway, sames goes with making a call. Whether I use Siri or manually use the phone app itself, once my outgoing call is placed, will she have to then switch the source over, or will it automatically stop her radio and pop me over to the bluetooth for the duration of the call. Sorry to be so ignorant with this, but really, I've never delt with car bluetooth until now.
