Abstract

A system and method for routing audio for a vehicle mounted communication system includes activating (210) a (Push-To-Talk) PTT button associated with a handheld or rear microphone and determining (220) whether a short range wireless device is operationally coupled with the vehicle mounted communication device. In accordance with an embodiment, first audio signals received (260) from a microphone of the short range wireless device are transmitted to a remote party (265) when the short range wireless device is operationally coupled to the vehicle mounted communication device. Second audio signals received (270) from a remote party are routed (275) to a speaker of the short range wireless device, when the short range wireless device is operationally coupled with the vehicle mounted communication device and the PTT button is activated.
