Hey guys,

I’m installing Stebel’s Nautilus on my Seat.
However had a question regarding the switch.

I’d like to keep both the original horn and the aftermarket one and activate the latter through a switch.

My question is regarding the OEM switches we find in our consoles (hazard button, lock unlock, etc...) - would they work as a switch? Or I should get an afternarket one?

Your opinions and input are highly appreciated.

Cheers,
Cyril

Hey I did an air horn install on mine.

What I did is used a relay with positive and negative main going to battery, switch coming from normal horn (tested positive with multimeter) and put it behind grill in front bumper! Sounds great!

There are a few free slots in the little waterproof fuse holder next to battery so looks perfectly stock.

Thé wire going foward in mesh is the one in fuse holder
7.5a fuse and there you go.

@cartmanbdx - thanks for your reply.

However, I think I miss-explained what I was looking for.

I'd like to keep my original horn while activating the air-horn with a trigger.
My question was - will any of our Seat OEM buttons (i.e Lock-unlock button) work as a trigger? Or should it be a on/off switch.

Thanks again,
Cyril

You can make pretty much any 12v trigger work as long as you run the cables to that switch and use a relay, test whatever switch you wanna use with a multimeter.
