Does anyone else find the horn location really annoying?

I find those two chrome buttons for the horn so frustrating. Why can't the whole centre section of the steering wheel be the horn? Whenever I've needed to use it I've always had to fumble around, whereas on BMWs etc all you have to do is press the centre of the steering wheel. Does anyone else find this odd?

Don't use the horn either, I just drive over 'em Laughing

(maybe that's why my air suspension is broken Wink ) .

I dont think the location is annoying.. I like it. and the horn is not bad.. but it could be more powerful Laughing


I use it often Twisted Evil but normally the size is enough to get the right of way/a lane on the motorway.. Laughing

Yes I've punched the air bag a few times after swapping from other cars.
Did know where the horn was just not natural

Guessing the reason for it is maybe LR thinks everyone drives at the 10 to 2 or quarter to three position and the horn is there in easy reach of the thumbs ………

Saying that if you don't have thumbs guess your F Censored D then ... Whistle

If you get a sheet of 3/4" ply, about 12" wide by 5" deep, a LR badge and some glue you could glue it to the horn buttons and have the same effect, good luck if the airbag ever goes off though!

I use the horn a LOT, in traffic and getting into the gates at the compounds. Without a horn you can't drive in Nigeria (or Italy for that matter Wink) and a lot of other parts of Africa. I have to admit the position is not ideal for all uses. In normal traffic it is fine (a lot of the time I drive with one thumb on one of the horn buttons) but turning into compounds (especially the one I live in, that needs a 90 degree turn) it is not always handy as the buttons end up top and bottom. On my FFRR the horn is quite loud and gets the "proper response" here. MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!
Have the Faultmate MSV2 Extreme to be tinkering with the settings etc. !!
