Vehicle Keyfob Lock Honk and Loud Horn Upgrades?

Upgrading to a loud, train-like horn can be a game-changer for any vehicle. But if your vehicle gives a honk when locking or unlocking with the keyfob, you might wonder: how will a louder horn affect that feature? Here’s what to know about using loud horn upgrades, like the MotoHorn™ 3.0, with keyfob lock honks.

Curious about how our horn performs with your vehicle’s keyfob lock honk? Watch this quick video to see exactly how the MotoHorn™ responds to a low-powered keyfob signal and why it won’t disrupt your everyday lock and unlock routine:

Keyfob Lock Honk – Why It’s Low-Powered

Most vehicles have a quick honk feature when locking or unlocking via the keyfob. This honk is designed to be quick and low-powered, just enough to confirm the lock or unlock action without causing a disturbance. For this reason, the keyfob’s honk doesn’t deliver enough power to fully activate most loud aftermarket horns.

What Happens with a Loud Horn Upgrade?

When you install a loud horn like the MotoHorn™ 3.0, it responds differently to the low-powered keyfob signal. Instead of delivering the full, train-like honk, the keyfob will usually only trigger a light honk, maintaining a quieter response while locking or unlocking your vehicle.

• Signal Strength: Keyfob honks operate with a low-powered signal, insufficient for triggering full-volume honks from aftermarket loud horns.
• Reduced Disruption: The low honk from the keyfob won’t disrupt your surroundings, allowing you to use the loud horn only when needed on the road.
• Compatibility: This setup keeps both the keyfob functionality and loud horn upgrade working together seamlessly.

Best of Both Worlds for Keyfob Users

A loud horn upgrade like MotoHorn™ gives you the best of both worlds: you’ll get the powerful, train-like sound on the road when you hit the horn, but only a mild honk from the keyfob lock/unlock. This keeps the upgrade practical and user-friendly for everyday use.
