I think i need something like few relays 1 to make the horn work and run to hook somewhere to work when the power is off that way it would only work if the key was off not sure

as a general statement, if you can find the output on the factory alarm system before it hits the parking light wire to tap a relay in there for the horn. sounds do-able

If you wire up the two relays like shown in this post, your horn will honk when you lock or unlock the vehicle with the factory transmitter as long as the vehicle is turned off.
Before hooking this up you need to consider the length of the parking light flash. If it is a quick flash, this may work. If it is a long flash your horn will honk way too long to be acceptable.

If you find the output is too long and annoying (which is most likely the case), you could add a drive circuit using a transistor and a few components to make the honk time adjustable to whatever sounds good. Less than a dollar in parts, if you're willing to do some simple work connecting the bits
