Horntones FX-550 -- Give your ride a voice!

The Horntones FX-550 is the one and only full-range, MP3 enabled vehicle horn system that comes complete with a full-range 110dB+ horn speaker, amplifier, and a control system that stores and plays pre-loaded and custom MP3 files through your horn speaker. It plays voice files, music, tones, and any other creative audio file you want with a loud, "ringtone" for your car that you can play at any moment! The FX-550 generates 110db+ of sound pressure and comes with 27 tones pre-installed. Additionally, you can download other free tones to your control unit via USB from Horntones website AND you can upload your own files to the system on their website too!

The FX-550 system is universal and a simple, straight forward installation, similar to a car amplifier install. With 27 "Horntones" factory-loaded and with additional tones available on our website, the possibilities are endless! Some examples include pranking your friends, scaring cows (with the "moooo" cow ringtone), uploading your favorite song, and making your vehicle "talk" through the horn speaker. Because this system is patented and fully customizable, you can be sure that you will have a one-of-a-kind system. Additionally, because the horn is a full-range speaker, this system is ideal for those out there that want crystal clear, LOUD messages blared out from their vehicle.

Main Player Details:

The Horntones FX-550 player is the heart of the system and is the primary user interface. It has 256 megabytes of flash memory to store up to hundreds of Tones (depending on the length of the audio clips utilized). It features a blue LCD display and has 9 preset buttons. Each button can play a different Tone for the selected Theme. It also has a USB port that is used loading new Themes and Tones. Two negative-trigger inputs are also provided for future use to interface with your extra buttons or other compatible devices.

The Horntones player is "Plug-n-Play" out of the box. The FX-550 player is factory programmed with 27 Horntones, wrapped into three Themes. You can add additional tones from the Horntones library of tones or you can create your own tones by using any MP3 audio editing software. New tones are transported from your computer to the FX-550 Player using a standard USB thumb drive. You never need to remove the player from your vehicle!

Because the FX-550 has 256 megabytes of memory and only 9 preset buttons, Horntones has a feature to organize your tones into "Themes". Themes allow you to save a set of 9 tones per Theme name. This allows you to use your FX-550 for in a wide variety of situations. Some example Themes include: TailgateParty, CarShow, Raiders, Carpool, Traffic, Politics, Advertisements or whatever creative ideas you may have!

Adding new Tones and Themes to your FX-550 is easy and similar to adding MP3s to an iPod or other MP3 player. By using the Horntones.com "Virtual Player", you can fully configure your FX-550 Player online. You can create new Themes and assign new Tones to each of the 9 presets for every Theme. Once you are satisfied with a Theme, you simply press the "Save to Theme to USB Drive" button, and save the resulting file to a standard USB drive in the Horntones proprietary file format.

You then take the USB drive to your vehicle and plug it into the FX-550 Player. The player will then automatically load your new Theme, Tones and settings.... It's that easy!
