Is200 Horn

[twotone]

Morning all,

The horn on the steering wheel in the IS200.....should I be able to sound it by pressing anywhere on the centre of the steering wheel or is it just where the symbol is below the central part of the wheel.

I ask because I can only sound mine when I press where the symbol is and I find that position awkward especially when turning.

Am I making sense :duh:

And no I'm not a driver always on the horn :winky:

Cheers all.

You won't want to push the horn anyway - it sounds so wimpy!

[Chris.S]

Get yourself some new model RX300 horns, sound a lot better and fit straight on

[Hawk Man]

How much do they normaly cost Chris ?

[Chris.S]

About £35.00 each if I remember correctly

[billybandit]

turn the screw on the back of the horn, to adjust the tone

[ifraz]

How often do you guys sound your horn?

I can't remember the last time I had a need to press it. The horn can sound like anything...it's still does the same job in scaring the living daylights out of pedestrians. :D

The sound isn't my issue its actually using it! Does anyone else have the same problem as I described above

[Chris.S]

No can't say as I do

me neither, but in my opinion a vehicle horn should match the car, do you really think that the IS should have a poxy 'mi mi' sound or a more defining MIII MIII.

[Chris.S]

Defo the latter

My old Ford Orion had a meatier horn than the IS

Do you have a part number Chris? Presumably a pair is needed for a set

Thanks...Rick

u should be able to push the hornpad on the 9 o clock, 3 o clock, and 6 o clock positions. u can even push it on the 12 o clock position. its best to push it on the sides, as the hornpad cover is mounted on the middle with springs on the sides.

the is200 horns rubbish... i have a astra diesel also and the horn sounds alot better than what i have on the lexus....

[Wallace]

Unless you are chasing a Civic R-Type, dont bother with the standard horns. Get up to Halfords and by a better pair :P

[BESTY]

i put a pair of ring horns on from Halfords ,spot on .only 20 quid

[SteveAudioX]

Those twin horns sounded great on that new LS430.. The other day.

I wonder how much those are from lexus... They looked like the same locations as the IS...

:winky: :D

No point chasing the Type-R I'd never catch her!!

[Bazza-old]

its a toyota thing

the horn on my hi-ace sounds like a pedal car horn, its almost embarrasing to use it

i find with most steering wheel horn positions that unless you press them in the right place they dont wanna know, its just working out where, then theres no probs

[Scorpion]

I can press mine in any position I.E anywhere on the inner part of the wheel and it will sound.

[Lexus Jim]

any chance of a picture of the horn positions and are they easy to replace?
