What better to compliment your electrophoretic bumper sticker than yet another device that enables you to adequately express your road rage in a unique and an ear-catching manner? Horntones, of course, which offers drivers the ability to blast out their favorite tune at any swerving, unnerving, or otherwise annoying motorist ahead of you -- and it's sure to have a bit more impact than the meek "honk" (or "clap") your whip emits right now. The FX-550 strangely resembles an average aftermarket satellite radio controller, and is wired directly into your vehicle's horn system in order to blast out one of eight tunes with a press of a button, while new jams (or better yet, sound clips) can be added via USB. So if you're yearning to crank out your favorite angry song with absolutely no mids or lows, essentially ensuring public humiliation while you're attempting to appear incredibly macho, you can snap this novelty up for a reported $149.99 when it lands in April.[Via Uber-Review]
Surely "La Cucaracha" is one of the built-in tunes?
i really like horntones
I am going to get one and put a recording of Gandalf on it.
"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"
Useful!
So how close to the original tune does this thing sound? Are we going to have a rash of incidents of people loading siren tones in and impersonating emergency vehicles?
Ugh. This provides stalkers with a new weapon. Now when they see someone they like they can follow them and suddenly have Gollum's voice from The Lord of the Rings say, "My precious..." *shivers* Creepy.
I wonder what Ross Rubin would come up with, you ,know the zune article.

I think the author means "to complement". "To compliment" your bumper sticker would be to tell it how nice you think it is. Thank you. That is all.
"Move Bitch Get Out The Way!"
it was only the other week , when watching skins we heard "move b*tch" and mum said now that would make a good car horn lol
A-Team theme tune would go perfectly with a custom paint job.
...have I suddenly fallen into a time warp to 1983 and not noticed?
At least the musical horns of the 80s could actually play different notes.
Dare I say "Dixieland"?

Finally, something to bring the 100 year old horn into the 21st century. I love the concept. Keeping the raunchy stuff out will be key to it's success. I plan to buy.
