It even rings when parking in or when driving slow. After looking for a solution I found the following algorithm (it’s no joke, it really works):

  1. turn car key to position II,
  2. turn on headlights,
  3. fasten seat belt nine times (sic!),
  4. turn off headlights,
  5. cut off ignition.

No disturbing tones anymore. ;)

Just apply above algorithm once more to turn ring tones on again.

Wird dann wohl nichts.

Das wäre ein ideales Notebook fürs Mobile.

Update am 24.1.2008: Ich hab das Notebook noch bei einem lokalen Elektrohändler bekommen.
