Boombox question - replace horn function?

[Johnstac]

While I can use boombox when I honk the horn, it still honks the regular horn once before it will play a sound. When I am in park, I can select, "Replace horn" but when I put the car in drive, it deselects and grays out. Is this normal? I can't imagine that it's supposed to be that way, otherwise, it wouldn't offer the option to replace to begin with. Thoughts?

Probably some federal guidelines that must be met for a horn that boombox horn doesn't meet (or Tesla can't guarantee that it meets) requiring the regular horn to honk when in gear.

Let's be somewhat rational here. The horn is a warning/safety device. It is required. You can't replace it with "coconuts" or fart sounds.

I think we though that BoomBox was a way to replace the regular sounds... instead it's literally a BoomBox and you can use it to temporarily play sounds through the external speaker. That's it. They don't stick around, they don't update the system.

Maybe we got that impression because the function is literally called, “Replace horn!” I do get your meaning though about using a fart sound in an emergency. In fact, I had the horn set to La Cucaracha when yesterday while on the freeway someone almost ran into the side of me and the best I could muster was a short honk and then a Tijuana brass.

I remember having the option to press the scroll wheel to trigger the sound but that is gone. Now my car honks, plays the sound, and then triggers the video to be saved. I liked the scroll wheel option.

The scroll wheel option is still there in Toybox. For fart sounds.

Is there a way to just have a horn sound? It’s kind of weird to have a short horn and then whatever sound you pick

Only when you are in park
