I can get it to work while I’m in ToyBox and playing around with it but once I’ve set it up and actually press the horn while driving, it never invokes the sounds I’ve set. How do I get it to work?

NHSTA made Tesla disable that a very long time ago. Only works in park.
Thankfully you can easily fit a huge JBL speaker in the frunk

WOW, that would be a GREAT idea!! As a mobile DJ business owner, I have several JBL powered speakers (10" and 15") that would be great for that!! Just too bad there's no AC power in the Frunk... Oh well, I suppose I COULD rig up an extension cord... Nah... I can always use my battery powered portable... it's good for about 8 hours of 'play time'... that and hook it up bluetooth to my phone and I could have my ice cream truck sounds back!!

Dang NHTSA always messing with us... How come it's perfectly fine to buy/replace your regular horn (or add one) that does the aaahhh ooooga sound (or clown horn!) on a 'regular' car, but you can't change the sound on an EV??!?!? Stupid... There should at least be a CHOICE of a few 'horns'...

Cause the NHTSA hates Tesla. Look at all the past recalls they’ve put out, they’re all BS made to make Tesla look bad. All of them are minor issues that were fixed with a software update (like the warning icons being too small).

I know, right? SOMEONE over at the NHTSA really wants to see Tesla fail... Fake 'recalls' like the font bit is rediculous! They aren't even required to HAVE a warning that says PARK on any other cars!!

I keep thinking that they must be making things up even! But I asked one of my buddies who's been a mechanic and automotive engineer for years and he said it's likely based on 'complaints' filed with the NHTSA... They usually don't do ANYTHING unless there's enough complaints filed with them even if it's a real issue (like this one for Hyundai and Kia's catching fire, and no, NOT the EV models, but rather the GAS ones!). Oh, and I love it when they say:
" owners should continue to park their vehicles outdoors and away from other vehicles or buildings, even if the vehicle is turned off. "

But why wasn't THAT all over the news for months and months?? A Tesla that gets in a MAJOR accident and catches fire draws ALL the media, but if a GAS car does... crickets... no big deal... They catch fire all the time!!
