I would have thought that the bluetooth set in the car should have been
wired via the ignition so that when you switch the car off, the bluetooth is
disabled, for exactly this reason. As it stands your phone is permenantly
connected to the hands free kit and this drains your battery faster. If this
was an aftermarket kit i would contact the installer as they may have
installed it incorrectly, however if it came pre-installed in your car
you'll just have to remember to remove the phone or switch it off when
you're not in the car.
