Default How do I turn the phone package off?

I have the Audi Bluetooth phone package on my new 2009 A4 2.0T Prem+.

The phone package works great. I just have one (stupid) question.

If I'm on a call in the car using the Bluetooth phone package, how do I turn the phone package off (without losing the call) and begin to talk directly on just my cell phone -- so the other passengers in the car can't hear my conversation?

That can only be done by turning bluetooth off on your phone as far as I know. My phone actually has an option that pops up for transferring sound to just the phone everytime i get a call. But i don't use a blackberry or iphone like most people.

Can't you just change the audio source on your phone? It's pretty easy to do on a Blackberry or iPhone. What phone do you have? Most phones it's very easy...during the call you can press a button or a sequence on your phone to route audio to the phone and not BT.

That's a good idea. I have a Blackberry 8310 Curve. I'll check it out. Thanks.

While in a call on any BB using Bluetooth, you can right click (menu key) and select "Activate Handset" to disconnect the BT call and switch to the handset itself.

Default I tried "Activate Handset"

I found the "Activate Handset" function on the Blackberry. I activated it during a call and it switched the call from the car's Bluetooth, to the Blackberry. Great! But after 5 seconds, it automatically switched it back to the car's Bluetooth system. How can I get it to "stick" to the Blackberry?

Hit your iphone button to turn the screen on if it's not on already. There should be 6 boxes, and one of them is audio source. Touch it and switch to 'iphone'.
