Re: Better horn for 2018 CR-V
Well that horn is much better than the meep-meep CR-V horn. Does it go right in to replacing the CR-V horn or is there wiring modification needed?
Are there any horns that will simply replace the meep-meep one with real horn sound and no wiring or voltage concerns?
I like the sound of this Nautilus horn, so it's a possibility.

You will have to install a relay and pull a few cables since it is so powerful.
Pulls a bit more power than the regular meep-meep horn.
I have it connected additionally to the meep-meep for more sound

Re: Better horn for 2018 CR-V
So how about a "plug n play" horn, one that allows me to disconnect the CR-V meep meep horn and connect a real sounding horn such as the Accord sound? One that I don't have to pull cables and/or power. Maybe??

I installed stebels on our crv when i had the front end off doing the touring headlight retrofit.
install was very simple and hey are night and day upgrade over stock.
you can do the install by just sliding off the shroud its that easy

Re: Better horn for 2018 CR-V
Thanks for the replies Type X and ClabbeB. Turns out with a little "searching" this was a very simple job. My biggest concern was how to connect new horns to the CR-V wiring. The horn adapter harness I found online at College Hills Honda was key to this being a simple process. I ordered 2, they came very quickly, no trouble at all. Then I bought two universal connection horns (the kind with two prongs since it's so hard to find 2017-2018 Honda compatible horns). These adapters end up giving you many options in what horns you want to buy since you just need to have two tabs to connect to.
Removing the shroud under the hood is very easy, 8 simple holders to remove. Then pull the fuse, unplug the old horns, remove them, plug in the adapter harness, connect the other end to the horn, easy fit in place, fuse back in and a quick test before replacing the shroud. It took about 30 minutes mostly because I was taking my time to make sure I didn't misplace any bolts or the holders for the shroud.
Now I have a horn that sounds like a Honda should sound. Easy and relatively inexpensive.
