I don’t think it’s a speech synthesizer. From my memory the CZcamsr the8bitguy did a video on speech synthesizers and said that this car didn’t actually have one in it rather it’s actually a small vinyl record inside the car
@@Matthew27567 I think this is a little of both. The early 1980s Nissans used a vinyl record of sorts, but these late 80s Chryslers no doubt used something quite similar to a Speak & Spell, which was indeed voice synthesis.

I also somehow figured out completely on my own how to run the voice box thru its test phase. You would push the drivers door switch in and out several times and it would go thru all the voice functions. I was 7 at the time. I remember the first time i figured that out I thought i broke the car. Once i showed dad...he had me use it as a party trick around his friends 😂 Oh the memories.

I remember we had a car similar to this, I think it was an 80s LeBaron. We found a series of actions to perform to make it thank us like 20 times. The worst was when you were driving and then out of nowhere it would start talking. It would scare us every time.
ELECTRICCLOCK A few Nissans had this, too. I believe 280ZXs were one car that talked. I know Maximas talked. Not exactly cars for elderly people. They made cars talk simply for the novelty of it. Speech synthesis was still somewhat new at the time, so it made for a cool selling point.
Beginning in 1982-84 it was the whole Knight Rider obsession. During the show's run there were actual customers at Pontiac dealerships asking how they could get that car known as KITT, assuming it was an actual model. They later started calling it a 'black t-top' instead of a 'pontiac trans am' due to this. Since car makers figured they'd sell to those who loved Knight Rider they tried doing the whole talking car thing. Nissan, Oldsmobile, and Chrysler all tried. They bombed, sadly.
Just imagine, if this was the 1980s, old timers from horse and buggy days would still be living, and just think about what a talking car would seem like to them.
Wow. Does this ever bring back memories. Had a 1984 chrysler new yorker. Black with red pinstriping and interior. Had my best highschool days in that car.
I had a 1983 Chrysler E Class and it sounded exactly like this! Omg high school memories of my friends and I going on a bone cruise and it told me to change the oil and my friends freaked out! Good times. Gooooood times haha

Forget the talking aspect..... a bunch of these bad boys had super chargers haha! "A door is a jar" was certainly a part of my teenage years though. Remember it fondly.
I worked at a garage when these things were starting to fail in the early 90's. When the door sensor would fail, the car would non stop say "your door is ajar" 🤣
There is actually a button in the door jam you can push and make it play all the voices. I had a fuel line leak and every other day "Your Fuel Is Low".
my greatfather actually used to have one of these, but Never actually knew it had more voices than just the one we heard in the video, what other voices did it actually have?
Those systems have been found in Nissan 300ZXZ, 200SX and Maxima GLE/GL from 1984 to 86. Between 1983 and 1988 the heared EVA (electronic voice alert) could have optionally been ordered at the Chrysler Mark Cross Edition and was delivered in Chrysler LeBaron, Town&Country, Fifth Avenue and New Yorker as well as in the Dogde Daytone and the Dodge 600. It was available in spanish, french and english for the mexican / canadian market.
@@aaronlane8276 I'm thinking of the RCR video on the new Yorker he definitely would have mentioned the talking if that particular new Yorker had the feature

This reminds me of the Bill Hicks bit about doing mushrooms then going for a ride in a talking car. "The door is ajar." "How can a door be a jar?" "Why would they put a jar in a car?" 🤣
This must have been such a trip back in 1987. Then when it says "thank you" people would have lost it.

I worked at a garage when these things were starting to fail in the early 90's. When the door sensor would fail, the car would non stop say "your door is ajar" 🤣
I knew somebody who had one and I thought it was cool. So futuristic lol
They should have used the voice from Hal in the 2001 movie. You go to open your door "What are you doing Dave?"
Would've been neater if they had sourced William Daniels for the voice (actor who voiced KITT from Knight Rider)
@@nicholasdalzell2658 yes!! Absolutely YES!!! I'm a huge fan of Knight Rider and I was thinking the same!
There is actually a button in the door jam you can push and make it play all the voices. I had a fuel line leak and every other day "Your Fuel Is Low".
my greatfather actually used to have one of these, but Never actually knew it had more voices than just the one we heard in the video, what other voices did it actually have?
Jesus… we had one of these, and I was able to quote every line
The simplest and most advanced car I've ever seen. This is so suitable than driving modern cars today.
🇺🇸✨️⚓️🌿⚓️✨️🇺🇸 Beautiful classic & hats 👒 off 2 folks @ Chrysler Corporation up in Michigan back in the 80s all check ✔️ ✅️.....
0:10 sounds like the american EAS alarm talking
Did this feature come with these cars? if so these cars are before their time 2017 don't do this
Dirty Red it did come with this originally and it was way before it's time.
Fohtman what about the 90 new Yorker
Dirty Red I'm not sure about that at all sorry.
No, the 1990 New Yorker only came with a chime.
Those systems have been found in Nissan 300ZXZ, 200SX and Maxima GLE/GL from 1984 to 86. Between 1983 and 1988 the heared EVA (electronic voice alert) could have optionally been ordered at the Chrysler Mark Cross Edition and was delivered in Chrysler LeBaron, Town&Country, Fifth Avenue and New Yorker as well as in the Dogde Daytone and the Dodge 600. It was available in spanish, french and english for the mexican / canadian market.
even when it’s turned of it’s still concerned about the keys and headlights what a smart car
I guess the future that we all wanted was already here. And then someone messed it up. At least it does say thank u.
Ah yes, the 88 Dodge Daytona
(I’m like 99% sure that’s what is is)
Abre el swith de encendido y presiona dos veces el interruptor de la puerta sin soltarlo y escucharas todos los mensaje. Saludos de mexico
did every new yorker come with this feature?
I think most came with it standard and you could request to get one without it. The Lebarons had this feature too.
it came with all of them and you had the ability to turn it off with a switch in the glove box
@@aaronlane8276 I'm thinking of the RCR video on the new Yorker he definitely would have mentioned the talking if that particular new Yorker had the feature
My mom had one when I was a kid. Always remembered the "don't forget your keys" 💀
that's awesome, especially the key reminder (because a ton of us will totally forget our keys)
looks minty af
pubbie hive it was mint, I bought it with only 32,000 miles on it. It sat in a garage and still had the original tires on it from 1987.
Fohtman how much did you get it for?
50,000 miles was the warranty - and after this it became a timed grenade
Welcome to old cars...
Haha man as annoying as It can get, I wish my Fifth Ave had this
Nathan Lester hahaha hey well maybe you will find a newyorker one of these days!
Im 46 now, I remember my Mom had this same car when I was like 8 or 10. I would always run around saying, "The door is ajar!"
Wow Its Amazing the Advanced Technology implemented for this Chrysler Car back in the 80's and Intelligent enough to talk the driver to close door and remove keys from car.
This reminds me of the Bill Hicks bit about doing mushrooms then going for a ride in a talking car.
"The door is ajar."
"How can a door be a jar?"
"Why would they put a jar in a car?" 🤣
that some really really good retro analog voice editing, I almost believed it~
This is insanely cool. Only 80s and 90s cars have this level of coolness.
I remember back in the late 80s, my aunt owned one of these Chryslers! It freaked me out as a kid hahaha
Minimalistic, retrofuturistic, 70s-80s digital dashboards are a freaking vibe, man.
My 83 Maxima also did this. "Left door is open." "Right door is open." "Pawking brake is awwn.."
