Got that great accord horn going now in my GE8, sounds great ! My question is, why the hell did Honda change it between the 08 and 09 ?I was so surprised when I got my GD3 last year at what I get for a horn, it was nice ! Then I get an 09 which I expect to be even better than the previous year and I find the "meep meep" horn installed. Could it have saved Honda that much to switch horns ?

I hate to tell you, but that horn appears to be the same horn that came in the GD3's. You've possibly downgraded...

although on comparison it does look like a "downgrade" b/c it came on the GD3s, it's not. It appears that Honda switched over the horns after 2008 b/c that new fit's horn is the same as the the 2006 civics had.

My horn was louder than the newer fits I had parked next to, hell it was louder than my civic. B/c that was so aggravating, I just switched them. Now the civic sounds like a real car....but I need a new Beep! Beep!

Although I could be wrong....

I brought my oem horn back home from my brothers house today. Comparing it to that picture they're the same part. If anyone wants this one let me know.

hahaha believe it or not this will probably be one of the few mods (tint, bike rack maybe) I do to my Fit. Glad I stumbled upon this. Thanks!

I really want to do this upgrade on both the regular horn and the keyless entry lock horn. Anyone care to do a DIY on the keyless entry lock horn?!

I actually wanted to get OEM accord horn to install... But in the end I got hold of Stebel Magnum 2 instead... Cheaper and a lot louder... LoL... I installed mine with a relay... But I think installing without a relay is not a problem too...

Why want to replace the keyless entry one? I only hit my fob once and not twice to avoid the meep. Any how there is a lot of room around the second horn so should be easy to put an Accord in there same as the first one. or you could use the Accors high tone maybe?

It is not on microfiche but behind the left headlight. It is about the same size as the big meep meep.

I can't quite remember but it was very visable when I had the plastic piece off for the other horn. I think I could have touched it otherwise maybe from underneath.

I found the 2nd horn on hondaautomotiveparts.com

its under CONTROL UNIT (ENGINE ROOM)

IT shows on the ge fit, there is a HIGH horn for the Keyless entry and LOW horn for Horning duties......

The corresponding part numbers for the 09 Accord horns are as follows:

38100-STK-A02 (low) Horn
38150-TA0-A01 (high) Keyless Entry

Are the harnesses the same?
Think we could use the low horn for each?
