Default Switching Bluetooth phone call to "private" 2013 A5 MMI

Just purchased this 2013 A5 with MMI. System works great. No problem with pairing or operation. Just can seem to find how to switch incoming BT phone call from system back to handset when the need arises. Other systems I have used had a "private" switch. Any help is much appreciated.

On my iPhone I can select that, also I seem to recall there's a option in the phone menu in the MMI to switch to the handset.

Tried what John suggested but still haven t been successful. On another car I own, when receiving a call over BT , you have the option of hitting the "private" button to keep someone in the car with you from hearing the conversation. Cant find that option here. I suppose the only way here is to cut off BT which seems a little out of the way.

While on a call you should have an audio button in the iOS In-Call menu. Tap that and you should be able to choose the audio output as depicted here. You should see three choices. The MMI Bluetooth connection, iPhone or speaker. If you are not connected to Bluetooth then the audio button turns into a speaker button that toggles between the iPhone and speaker. I've never tried it in the car as it is illegal here to use the phone in a non-handsfree matter, so I simply reject the call if I can't talk at the moment. It's rude anyway to yap on the phone while confined in a small space with other passengers.
