Fuse box Horn Relay Location

I’m trying to find the Horn relay for my X1 F48 . I know about the fuse box in glove compartment but that’s just the horn fuses, where is the relay hidden.?

I’m wanting to add a horn relay that has a splitter in it for a custom horn. The cable comes with relay and then forks off into 2 connections


Please help me

Checking the vehicle manual or contacting BMW support might provide specifics on the relay's location. Also, digging into X1 forums or communities might unearth someone who's done a similar customization and can share their insight.

Hey, finding those relays can sometimes feel like a scavenger hunt, right? For your X1 F48, the horn relay might not be in the glove compartment fuse box. It's often tucked away in the engine bay fuse box or near the battery.
As for adding a custom horn with a splitter relay, that sounds like a neat customization! Have you considered the Dewalt horn for this mod? While I don't have the exact location for your relay, using a relay with a splitter could make the installation smoother for your custom horn setup.

I don’t think so as the documentation / diagrams hints that the relay for the Horn is located inside the BDC
