I need help setting up a car horn for my bike.

I want a loud car horn to prevent acccidents while riding in city traffic.

After seeing what is on the market and what I could set up myself given my limited skills, this is the best I've found:

Loud Bicycle | Car horn for bikes

It is somewhat expensive, but I'm ok with that. It is everything I would want, except that it is big and clunky and it is operated by a button that attaches to the horn via a cable.

I don't like clutter on my handlebar. So, I want to mount the horn on the back of my seat post, and control it wirelessly using a remote control mounted on the handlebar.

I figured out I might buy a remote like this one:

Model RC-100 WIRELESS WIZARD? Universal Wireless Remote Control System - Horn Accessories - Horns

and adapt it to operate the loud horn. I haven't worked with electronics since high school. So, I am not sure I know what I am doing. My plan is to take the original cable that comes with the horn, cut it and interrupt it using the wireless remote receiver.

Here is the manual from the remote I found http://wolo-mfg.com/media/wysiwyg/pd..._Install_1.pdf


Do you think that would work?

Do you have any tips or suggestions?

Can you think of any better solutions?

Thanks for any advice!
