Chris, if your car radio takes over the A2DP outbound channel then you’ll have lost voice over unless you grab it through some other means like a wired headset.
There may be a way around this for example disabling the A2DP but leaving the hands free enabled but I haven’t played with this enough to see if it’s workable. I just have my phone auto pair when I get close to the car and my driver hits the answer key but my driver isn’t technically lacking so that may not work for you.
