Default Horn button alternatives

Anybody got any cool ideas for alternative uses for a softail horn button? My buddy wired his to a cigarette lighter. Another guy wired his to a flashlight. Never use my horn (loud pipes do the job) so might as well put that button to use. '09 Deluxe. Thanks

You know the day you do that you'll need it right?

That was the first thought that came to my mind as well

I find it unsual when people state they never use their horn. I certainly don't use it every day but I do use it.

I have loud pipes also but they don't seem to get someone's attention like my 120+ dB horn.

Same here. Loud pipes help, but they're not enough sometimes.
I have used the horn button as a nitrous activation switch though.

Great idea! I carry a keychain garage remote in my pocket but it's still kinda bulky. Any idea how to actually wire that?

I'd really like to somehow make it a Bluetooth button that's mapped to "skip track" on my iPhone.
