Just got a new car, unfortunately unlike my last car this one does not separate the ringtone volume from the volume for when you're speaking on the phone. When I talk to someone on the phone I have to set the volume kind of high so I can comfortably hear the person. The next time my phone rings it rings at that high volume and almost blows my ear drums out. I instinctively reach out and turn the volume down as quickly as I can while answering the phone.......but then I turn it back up as soon as I start talking to the person, which of course causes the phone to ring extremely loud next time.
At this point my preferred option (other than getting Ford to separate the two volume controls like my old car did) would be to just stop the ringtone from playing at all when the phone rings. Is there any way to achieve this? I've tried automations to put the phone in silent mode when it connects to CarPlay/take it off when it disconnects, did not work. I also tried one to set the ringer volume to 0 when connecting to CarPlay, also no good. Is there any way to do this?
