The Horntones FX-550 System is the first mobile audio system that supplements the sound of a vehicle's horn function by sounding any MP3 audio clip. It's like a ringtone for your car. The FX-550 introduces a new dimension to the automotive customization aftermarket.

The FX-550 Horntones System is a three piece system which includes the FX-550 Player, the AP-150 audio amplifier and the rugged SR-100 speaker. Installation is as easy as installing a car stereo and once connected you are ready to honk your horn in ways you've only dreamt of.

The Horntones FX-550 Player can store 256 mega-bytes of tones and is simple to use. It has 9 preset buttons and 2 negative-trigger inputs for interfacing with other vehicle functions. Tones are organized into "Themes." Each Theme allows new tones to be assigned to the 9 buttons. Themes can be as varied as Horns, Tailgate Party, Concert, Car Show, Soccer, Carpool, Movies, Politics, Advertisements or whatever you like.

Adding new tones to the system is simple using a standard USB thumb (flash) drive. The company's website, horntones.com, includes a "Virtual Player" that allows users to completely configure their FX-550 online and then simply save the resulting file to a USB thumb drive. The thumb drive isthen brought to the FX-550, plugged-in and new tones and configuration settings are automatically loaded. The FX-550 does not require removal from the vehicle for tone updates.

Custom, user-authored tones can also be added to the FX-550 using the horntones.com "Virtual Player". Custom horntones can be created using any MP3 editing software.

Just so you know, it is illegal to use siren wails, bells, and whistle sounds because those are reserved for emergency vehicles. Otherwise have fun, installing a semi sounding horn in your ride or maybe the Road Runner "beep beep." Lot's of possibilities are out there with this unique system!
