When upgrading an existing single tone car horn to a dual tone how complicated is the extra wiring?
No Simon, that won't work.
What you are suggesting is wiring the two horns in series, and that halves the voltage so you would have two horns running on 6 volts. They need to be wired in parallel. A lot depends on how good the horn's relay is and if it can handle the load of two horns. My thought is that it probably will as many vehicles already have twin horns. The positive lead from the relay needs to split and go to the positive sides of both horn, and the negative of the horns to grounds. Ideally, two relays, two horns, two grounds.
Look at the YouTube video of the guy that added a huge locomotive twin air horn. It is funny as he goes looking for jay walkers! If I remember he had to install a second battery for it as the load for the air compressor, made the engine stall.

Reset a Kenwood 8070 without a remote?
To reset a Kenwood 8070 receiver without a remote, you typically need to locate the reset button on the device itself. This button is often small and recessed, so you may need a paperclip or a similar tool to press it. Consult the user manual or look for the reset button near the power or input/output ports on the receiver. Once located, press and hold the reset button for a few seconds until you see the receiver reset. Keep in mind that this process may vary slightly depending on the specific model of the Kenwood 8070 receiver.

I need a Manual for a Alpine Vie-x077 in English and also anyone know why it keeps saying the disc needs to be ejected but it won't
- Mechanical Issue: There might be a mechanical problem with the disc drive or the eject mechanism. It's possible that a part is jammed or not functioning correctly.
- Dirty or Damaged Disc: If the disc is dirty, scratched, or damaged, the player may have difficulty reading it and thus not ejecting it properly.
- System Error: There could be an internal error within the player's software or firmware causing it to not recognize the disc properly or to malfunction when attempting to eject it.
- Power Issue: Sometimes, power-related issues can affect the functionality of electronic devices. Ensure that the player is receiving adequate power and there are no loose connections.
Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:
- Turn off the player and then turn it back on to see if it resolves the issue.
- Try ejecting the disc using the manual eject button (if available). This button is usually a small pinhole near the disc slot. You can insert a paperclip or a similarly sized object into the hole to manually eject the disc.
- If possible, try using a different disc to see if the problem persists. If other discs work fine, then the issue may be with the original disc.
- Check for any visible obstructions around the disc slot and remove them if present.
- If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact Alpine customer support for further assistance or consider taking the player to a qualified technician for repair.
