Does anyone know how to switch to private conversation when using the handsfree with the Z2? Is there a button you can push while talking to toggle between speaker and private on your cellphone or do you have to shut the bluetooth down on your cellphone?

I believe this is phone dependant. My phone has a "use handsfree" option during a call to switch to the cellphone only.

Correct. On my phone, you go into the options while you're on the call and select "audio to phone". It changes to "audio to handsfree" after that so you can switch it back over.

I will have to check that out on my blackberry 8830. I know I had the Parrot in my old truck and you could toggle between private and speaker on the Parrot by hitting the "answer" button on the Parrot device itself.

that depends on your phone. My iPhone gives the option of phone, speaker phone or the z2. However my blackberry's 8100 & 8800 don't.

So what do you do with your blackberries to get them to go to a private phone call so everyone in the vehicle doesn't join in?

I hit ignore disconnect then call them back... :(

Press the trackball and a menu will open with an option to disconnect from the AVIC.

Actually I figured out how to do it with the Blackberry 8830, while on a call you press the 'menu' key and then it has "activate speakerphone' and 'activate handset'. If you click 'activate handset' it goes to private and if you want to go back to bluetooth speaker you press 'menu' again and then it has 'activate speakerphone' and 'activate pioneer hdd'!

Does anyone know how to do this with a Razr? I've been trying to figure this out for a year now.

During the call, hit the top middle button and it has an option of "use handset"

Thanks! I knew there had to be an easier way than digging through the menu tree, but I never tried that button!
