Great video Evan. I remember folks talking about the change sometime between late 2022 into early 2023 when Rivian took out the second horn and how some were complaining. When I picked up my R1S in the Summer of 2023c I was curious and couldn’t believe the clown car horn they allowed to go in these beasts.No clue how the horn decision passed any team’s approval TBH?? I had to watch your video just to see how to fix this and unfortunately I don’t have the time but grt job walking us thru it. The outlet is another changed that happened to reduce costs, so thx for doing that piece too. Love my R1 and no vehicle can be everything to everyone but the horn was for sure a hungover Monday morning misstep in Normal for someone. Cheers
Thanks for the great video Evan, I appreciate the conversation because it adds more context.
Couple questions:
1. Regarding the relay; did you use it because you were planning to add a third horn? I was thinking that, if the Rivian had two originally, a relay wouldn’t be necessary.
2. Does the relay add a delay to the second and third horns? I sort of hear the clown horn go before the other ones.
3. I doubt there is any noticeable difference but do you feel that your placement of the horns would make their sound be dampened by the frunk’s container?
4. Did you set the Rivian into any mode before working on it? Idk if it should be in “service mode” or else for safety purposes.
Thanks for the video. Do you know the size of the washer/nut that you used to fasten the horns onto the Rivian in that spot? I'd like to do the same thing because I agree the horn that comes on the Rivian from the factory isn't very good.
I think the bolt is a 8mm. I think M8x1.25, but it could be M8X1.5. I’ll check when I get home
Awesome, thanks for your help. Great info and I'm interested to see if you're going to add that battery tender to your setup as well. It's not a bad idea.
sorry, just too long. Detail is good, but too much babble. Thanks for taking the time.
No thanks. I stop watching as long as you mention the Chinese horn.
