Well, some day it will happen to you too. Your beloved mp3 will honk 5 times because of hydraulic fluid leak inside the pressure sensor of your suspension lock.

And while it should be replaced as soon as possible, the 5-times honk could cause some problems with your neighbours or passers. Someone could think you're beeping to them for some reason and come to ask why. Also you might feel bad if the thing beeps inside your garage.

Thus this.

All works as it should, except for rude beeps.
This relay does only one thing: it activates the horn when your parking ECU wants to beep. So you may even replace it with a little buzzer, but I really don't need my mp3 to make any sounds if it feels something about its tilt lock.

Yes, more or less. But for me personally this has two reasons:

1. I don't like to be noisy
2. Part availability and price

I mean, if it didn't use horn, I'd keep everything as it is.
