If your 2012–2021 Tesla Model S has issues like hoarse horn sound, no response, or failure to trigger honking via the vehicle’s RC (Remote Control) function, this CFN brand high-tone horn is the targeted solution. As a CFN branded part (not a Tesla OEM part), it is strictly designed to match the acoustic parameters and installation specifications of the 2012–2021 Model S. It not only restores the clear sound quality of the original high-tone horn but also fully supports the vehicle’s remote honking function, ensuring normal use in scenarios such as daily driving warnings and remote car-finding honking.
The horn adopts a high-sensitivity sound unit, with a frequency response range focused on the 2.5–5kHz high-tone band and a sound pressure level of 115dB (consistent with the original). This ensures clear penetration when honking on urban roads while avoiding harsh noise. Whether warning pedestrians at intersections, reminding other vehicles during highway lane changes, or forming a stereo sound effect with a low-tone horn (sold separately), it can restore the original acoustic experience of the 2012–2021 Model S and complies with the national motor vehicle horn sound level standard (GB 7258).
Tailored to the remote control system characteristics of the 2012–2021 Model S, CFN has optimized the electrical response speed of the horn: when "remote car-finding honking" is triggered via the Tesla mobile APP or key fob, the horn can respond quickly within 0.3 seconds without delay or interruption. Unlike ordinary universal horns that often have issues like "no response to remote control" or "intermittent honking," this horn can accurately match the signal protocol of the Model S’s Body Control Module (BCM), ensuring stable operation of the RC function.
Considering that most 2012–2021 Model S vehicles have been in use for many years, CFN has enhanced durability in terms of materials and structure:
- Waterproof and Dustproof Design: The horn housing is made of sealed ABS material with an IP54 protection rating, which can resist rain, car wash sprays, and dust in the engine compartment, preventing sound quality degradation caused by rust of internal components.
- Stable Operation in Wide Temperature Range: Within the range of -30°C (freezing winter) to 85°C (high temperature in the engine compartment in summer), the horn coil and diaphragm perform stably, without problems such as "no sound in cold state" or "sound distortion in hot state" due to extreme temperatures.
- Anti-Vibration Structure: Built-in buffer rubber pads can absorb bumpy vibrations during vehicle driving (such as passing speed bumps or unpaved roads), reducing diaphragm wear and extending service life (tested to be over 5 years under normal use).
- Fits Only 2012–2021 Model S: Exclusively compatible with Tesla Model S produced from 2012 to 2021 (including all variants such as 60, 85, P85, 90D, 100D). Not suitable for post-2022 facelifted Model S (with changed electrical interfaces and installation positions) or other Tesla models (e.g., Model 3/Y/X). Misuse will result in failure to install or function properly.
- Direct OEM Position Installation, No Modification Needed: The horn size and installation holes perfectly match the inner bracket of the front bumper of the 2012–2021 Model S, and it is equipped with a 2-pin waterproof connector of original specifications—simply replace the old horn without cutting wires or adjusting the installation bracket. Professional installation is recommended (the lower guard plate of the front bumper needs to be removed, and the operating space is limited). After installation, confirm that there is no "horn fault" prompt through the vehicle self-inspection.
- Replacement Scenarios: Suitable for replacing the horn of the 2012–2021 Model S when encountering the following issues: ① Weak or distorted honking sound; ② Horn does not honk during remote car-finding; ③ Horn has no response at all (after eliminating fuse or wiring harness faults).
