In my old Leon, I connected my phone to the aux input via a cable. When a call came in, I could have a conversation - it worked quite well - this was a car with no bluetooth connection at all.
I have both a Kensington Liquid Aux Bluetooth reciever for audio and a Parrot for hands free.

If I'm streaming music to the Kensington when I get a call in it pauses and transfers the audio to the parot without a problem. I believe iPhones will proritise call audio to a hands free only device rather than an audio receiver.

Hope hat helps!
