Looks like it is only for streaming music from your phone to the car radio. Since they don't list it as being able to use as a telephone, it probably doesn't do that, or if it does stream telephone it probably doesn't mute the radio.

Looks like it's using the AUX function of the car. So, in theory, it should be able to do telephone as well. Let say you're streaming music. Call comes in, your phone should switch to telephone mode and mute the music. The incoming call is routed to the speaker (AUX mode) just as the previous music stream and the phone's mic is used for your outgoing voice - assuming you have your phone mounted/placed somewhere near you. A kluge, I know. This is only useful if you're always using your phone to stream music and you're in AUX mode all the time.

BUT, GROM is the better solution.
