Bluetooth for phone calls in the car is a FAIL



Long story short: Who hasn't been talking on the phone when all of a sudden the call drops, only for it to connect again after a few seconds of silent dead air?

The other party blithely dismisses the outage, remarking "The call switched to my car's Bluetooth."

Same thing when they arrive and turn off the car and the call goes dead for a few seconds while it switches back to the phone.

Wake up and smell the coffee: That's not a feature — it's a bug.

It's so annoying and it doesn't have to happen.

Turn off your car's Bluetooth when you're not using it — when you get in while talking on the phone put it in a cupholder or the center console, anywhere: you'll hear it just fine and so will the person you're speaking with.

Just because you have a feature doesn't mean it's of benefit.
