NEEDED: Replace F10 Horn with Air Horns
Hi,
Anyone got instructions / advice for installing a set of air horns instead of the normal horn? I (will) have a 2013 F10 535d M-Sport. I figure I should be able to take the power lead from the standard horn & plug it into the air horns but maybe I'm wrong. Any thoughts / pix / tips on where I can mount the air horns etc will be muchly appreciated.

You can get a Kahlenberg compressor and air tank.

As stated there should be plenty of room behind the front grille area to mount a moderate sized air horn (if you're serious and not just having a laugh).
Only advice I could dispense after messing around with BMW electronics the past few years is to never risk overloading a particular circuit on these cars. If you plan to replace stock equipment with something that has significantly more draw, use a relay and a direct 12V source. The power distribution in this car is finicky - you'll likely not run into an issue if you ignored this advice - but I promise you'll be out quite a few AUD on the odd chance something goes. |
