I don't disagree. I'm disappointed that it doesnt function with things like the steering wheel controls but based on that and what I know about the pairing...

I think the HU remains in AUX mode while the phone is docked. The phone merely outputs the call audio just like other audio to the HU. The microphone routes data via BT to the phone.
