Adding a second Horn via flips Switch?

Hello All,
I am thinking of replacing my existing horn with a Stebal Nautilus Horn. Cause the horn is so loud and I feel I need it to drive on I-95, but sometimes I want just a regular sounding horn, I was trying to figure out how I can keep both, but flip between the 2 depending where I am.

So the thought was to use a flip switch which depending if is was set to 1 or 2, it would activate the regular horn or the Stebal. Then I started thinking about where I could mount a flip switch to keep the interior nice and clean. So I noticed the center button between the Sport and Traction off.

How difficult would it be to replace that button with a usable one and then have it act as a flip switch for 2 different horns?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

David

I was thinking of installing one of these horns also. I think you have a great idea with the switch but...I don't know how you would use the middle button for the switch either.

I was looking at Penske Parts site regarding the switch assembly. This is for a 2008:Mini.switch.pdf

Please post your progress and results.
