What it is

Vehicle horn engaged.

This property must communicate if the vehicle's horn is currently engaged or not. If true, the horn is engaged. If false, the horn is disengaged.

How the ID is built

A property ID is a 32-bit value packing four fields. Reading 0x11200340 apart:

FieldMaskValueMeans
Group0xf00000000x10000000SYSTEM
Area0x0f0000000x01000000GLOBAL
Type0x00ff00000x00200000BOOLEAN

Reading it from an app

CarPropertyManager mgr = (CarPropertyManager)
        car.getCarManager(Car.PROPERTY_SERVICE);

boolean value =
        mgr.getBooleanProperty(VehiclePropertyIds.VEHICLE_HORN_ENGAGED, 0);

This property can be read and written, though an OEM may implement it as read-only. It fires a callback whenever the value changes.
