I was under the assumption that muting the stereo might also mute my calls while using BT. This is not the case. I have to use the mute button on the phone for this to work, which kind of voids the purpose of using BT in this example. I often attend conference calls in the car and it is a hassle, especially if your mute button is a menu deep on your particular phone.

I've got a question. When I receive a call over bluetooth, how can I mute a call? I often have people in the car when I receive a call and I don't want to answer it, just put it on mute. It just keeps ringing, and if I do reject it hangs up the phone and they try to call back again. Any ideas?

If you hit reject, the call goes to voicemail. I do it all the time. Most people realize that you can't pick up and they just leave a message.

Hence my mod for adding a Mute button. I am constantly doing conference calls in the car and I only consider it polite to put myself on mute when I'd not speaking, why should everyone have to put up with road noise because you chose to do the call from your car while driving.
