Horn Upgrade

Can you hear me now.. I always hated the wippy sound of the smart car horn. On my last trip to Seattle I stopped by the smart dealership in Tukwilla, WA and asked if they had a horn upgrade.. The guy said yes.. I believe it cost around 53.00 or so (not sure). Anyway I said can I hear one installed.. just my luck they had the front off of a smart in the shop he hooked up the one I was thinking about buying and then blasted the horn...I was sold! Anyway I installed mine this past weekend and wanted to share with you all.

Here is the first You tube link to the stock sound of my orginal horn.


Now here is the upgraded horn added to my smart.

Its just another horn that fits exactly on the opposite side you will see in the video. After you get the front body parts of the smart its about a 5 min job to install.. Don't try to do this without removing the front panels.. You can't !!!



For removing body panels refer to this link.

Hope you all enjoy my loud horn!! Any questions please ask!

Aloha, Tim

The additional horn that makes the optional smart "Fanfare Horn" (p/n A451 542 03 20) is lower frequency than the standard. In Euro horn-speak, "fanfare" = two horns of different frequency sounding simultaneously. See: Evilution - Smart Car Encyclopaedia

Glad I have it.
