Maybe while you're at it you can get it to brush your teeth, shave your
face, comb your hair, and tie your tie while you are behind the wheel.

Was there some reason you left out "trim nose hairs" ??

Alright, now you're just going way too far.  A phone could never, ever do
that.  Not in a million, gazillion, bagillion years. :-P

Mobile phones used to have this feature.
At least Moto did. Some others also. But, it
was activated only when green wire (ignition
source) didn't have 12V on it to prevent honking
while driving. There even may have been a keyed
in activation if I remember.

Installed car kits (Moto anyway) have a radio
mute feature that involves pulling a line low for
the duration of the ring cycle/call.

This, with a bit of engineering could be used to
honk a horn. But, it would honk the horn in a steady
blast, whenever the phone rang, or was in use. It
would take further engineering to devise a way to
interrupt it and avoid it blasting the horn while driving.

I would say that anything can be done with enough effort,
but the practical answer is....

NO

Why?

Without being a smartass, I'd like to know why also.

The only reason I could think of is a scenario where:

You spend a lot of time in a place where you're NOT allowed to have a cell
phone on you, but you ARE in hearing range of your horn. You're also allowed
to leave the place to go to your truck to use the phone to retrieve the call
info. Of course in this case you'd never get to the phone in time to
actually ANSWER a call.

----OR-----

You normally spend a lot of time where the noise level is so high that you
can't hear the phone ringer. Obviously in this case you are outside the
truck and would have to return there to try to answer the call in time.

Neither case seems all that practical. Rather than go to all to trouble of
trying to rig this up, get an old-fashioned pager and forward your cellphone
calls to that number.

Install a loud PA system in the truck and have it always on with the
microphone keyed.  Set your mobile phone down by the microphone.  If it
absolutely has to honk the horn, record your own MP3 of a honking horn and
use that as your ringtone.  :)  Only downside is this system would drain the
truck battery fast.  -Dave

Put a sound-activated microphone on the PA.

In the late '80s, I put a new roof on my house. One day, I wanted to hear
the end of a ball game on the radio, but I needed to get to work on the
roof and I didn't have a battery-powered radio to take up there with me. My
solution: I put the radio on its sleep timer (there was less than an hour
left in the game), set my 49Mhz short-range headset on top of the radio
with its mic set to VOX, and carried my scanner up to the roof, set to the
freq of the headset.

Worked like a charm. I clearly heard the rest of the game, the radio shut
off, the headset stopped transmitting (and draining its battery), and I
went on hammering shingles (happily -- my team won).

We still don't know the OP's reason for wanting this. Is it to be used at home,
at work, etc? I can seem all kinds of problems, as far as disturbing the peace.

Don't bother. It will be for your sister and wife from her crack whore
friends telling her she left her pipe at the corner.

I think I'd develop a switch device that required little pressure to
activate the horn, then set the phone slightly above it on a ledge...  set
the phone to vibrate, you get a call, the phone vibrates off the ledge,
falls onto the switch...    *HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK*
til you got to your truck to pick up your phone.  :-)
