Bluetooth car ringer too loud!!

I'm using my iPhone (3GS) in my Mini through the Bluetooth, and when a call comes in, the ringer is too loud. It is much louder than the music I'm listening to. Is there a way to lower the ring volume without lowering the voice (call) volume?

Windows, iPhone OS 3.1.2

My wife has just bought a new iPhone 3gs, which paired easily and successfully with her Raytel 4200 Tellphone bluetooth. Audio quality is excellent. However, the incoming call ringtone almost knocks her out of the car. This didn't happen with her previous phone, a Nokia.

Does anyone have a fix for this?

Ok, I've figured it out and it has nothing to do with the iPhone but I will post this so that anyone else who has a similar problem can find some help.

Turns out the Mini's radio has many different volume levels that must be adjusted while in that mode. So you would turn the radio (or whatever you are listening to) on and adjust the volume to the level you want. Then have someone call you and while the car is ringing (not between rings) adjust the volume to the level you want. Then answer the call and have the person speak while you adjust the volume again to the level you want.

This should work!

Ok, maybe an easier question; How can I turn down the ringer volume without affecting the voice volume?

I'm sure its something with the iPhone since my last phone (T-Mobile G1) didn't do it.

I need to clarify my previous post to state that this loud ring problem is with call waiting, while she is having a conversation...not just with a incoming call in the clear.
