    Bluetooth ringer volume - too loud!

    Does anyone know of a way to lower the volume of the bluetooth phone ringer when you get a new call? I always get startled by it since it's very loud. You can turn it down while it's ringing, but you have to turn the volume back up when you are talking to the person.
