Abstract
A system includes a processor configured to receive a request to activate a voice input responsive function on a mobile device. The processor is further configured to send indicia of an incoming call to a vehicle computing system (VCS), responsive to the request. Also, the processor is configured to receive access to an open voice channel originating at the VCS as part of a VCS hands-free call handling for a virtual phone call established by sending the indicia and receive voice input over the hands-free call channel. The processor is additionally configured to pass the voice input to the voice input responsive function. The processor is also configured to receive output from the voice input responsive function and pass the output to the VCS for output to the user.
