1987 Chrysler New Yorker Voice Alert (EVA)

[Xternal47]

Sounds like Microsoft Sam..

[kpark89]

they need ghetto version: YO FASTEN YOUR SEATBELT AND DA FUCKIN DOOR BE OPEN FOO

[kpark89]

HELLO I AM A SHITTY CAR. I WILL TALK TO YOU WHEN THE ENGINE DONT EVEN START. OH FUCK AND I AM DRUKN.

[jason123456789210]

would be funny if microsoft sam was the voice..

[CmpsdNoMore]

How can a door be a jar?

[mrceleb2006]

@CmpsdNoMore When it's not a door! LOL

[weburnnit]

i would like to know, if you know where i can get my dash repair at,i have a 1987 new yorker and i'm in the state of Ga

[liddlebopeep]

They should bring Voice Alert back to modern cars, I've seen too many drivers without their headlights on at dusk. A simple voice reminder to turn on your headlights would work wonders towards increasing safety on the roads.

[NarcoticEvil]

im going to buy this car now.

[hovamane]

Thatd the only thing that doesnt work in mine.. ima check and see if its connected..

[Maglevspiritualgeek]

A door is a jar!?

[baskarakus]

@Maglevspiritualgeek a cookie jar

[cbryant92]

Your trunk is a fork

[kamirazhor]

my grandpa had a NY I remember my childhood; these cars was very comfortable :D

[phantomuser1]

I didn't know they made a non tach digi dash?

[fullmontycarlo]

Your window is a spoon.

[Brmobrad]

ur mouth is ajar so keep it dhut lmao



[Jim4575]

Remember all those warnings , they drove people nuts with a door that now seems to be a jar!! I wish they would make dashes with all the gauges again , they seem to be taking important gauges away. This makes the car seem cheap to me, It isn't rocket science!!! I don't like relying on a $3 bulb to tell me my oil is low!!

[gokartbuyer]

@Jim4575 you don`t have too, it is called maintenance. sadly most people don`t do any anymore.

[Jim4575]

@gokartbuyer True, as I do regular maintenance and a car can go for a long time with just oil lube and filter do regularly. With a full set of gauges you get a headsup before things happen.

[gokartbuyer]

@Jim4575 that is right actually. now it is all coded. you plug it in and find out vaguely what is wrong after you look up the codes.

[Jim4575]

@gokartbuyer Plug it in and watch your wallet empty. Some of the codes they get will lead you to your dealer, my nephews knows of this. This is progress ?

[gokartbuyer]

@Jim4575 nope this is backtracking, we are lucky to get over 200,000 miles i have seen old 1970`s mercedes last over a million miles on a regular basis and they still run!

[Jim4575]

@gokartbuyer You are right ! There's a Volvo with over a million miles on it and it is still running perfectly. Bodies good too.

[gokartbuyer]

@Jim4575 so sad but so very true.

[sanitarium09]

I had one of those many years ago. It was pretty unique at the time. I guess Chrysler was trying any gimmick they could to compete with Cadillac in the luxury market.

[1979lincolncoupe]

my car can cough

[mrfoxboy]

That is awesome! "Your headlights are on!" *corrects* "Thank You!" Very polite car

[AmericaDoesItBest]

A door is not a jar, sir.

[luis3826]

Dang these cars had a lot of technology for being from the 80's

[gallagher123123]

I wish cars would still have that. I know that it drove of peple nuts.

[antony4578hot]

The Technology From Those Cars Is Great, and That Computer Is Very Courteous!!!

[TonyMaximMuscles]

What a courteous computer!!! It must be a MAC.

[87Kefka]

My Grandma Nora had this EXACT same model. I thouhhg the voice was the neatest technology

[stephmc111]

soo cool

[jakesaintsrow123]

was it an 87? was it in good shape?

[Montera15]

If i had that car, it would get too annoying to fast!!

[poopskinTheLiar]

I wish my car sounded like the Announcer from Salamander.

[tovara22]

Damn I forgot my keys...F*ck I should have listened to my car!!

[jmillski1]

your car thanks you for driving it. that's just weird.

[madmanmapper]

at least it says thank you after you do what it nagged you to do

[smithraymond09029]

Damn car even nags you?!

[Parsec994a]

I like how all the 80s and early 90s cars had the voice of a mid-40's well spoken male smoker.

[Jak3Mac]

@Parsec994a You've never heard of bitching Betty.

[Parsec994a]

@Jak3Mac Oh, I have. I have.

[stopscrewingaround11]

totally need a remix of this.



[patsaxon]

I love the electronic instrument panel better than analog.

[hebneh]

I laughed when it said "Don't forget your keys". The unfortunate thing is, if you heard that every time you stopped the car, you'd get used to it so quickly that you wouldn't hear it anymore, meaning that you could very easily forget your keys even if the car told you not to.

[dejohn913]

Don't Forget Your Keys. Damn That Takes Me Way Back When New Cars Were Fun & Interesting To Have & Own. The 21st Cenury Cars Suck. Big Time.

[way2muchsense]

@dejohn913 Funny how a New Yorker looked a lot like a Reliant back then. You really were wasting your money if you bought anything other than the basic Plymouth.

[sparkarna]

hahahaha, i fucking love this. Of all the old 80's cars with their strange and funny innovations, this is the best.

[anointed852003]

lol...my mom used to own a 1987 new yorker with that feature...she got rid of it when the voice alert started throwing out audible alerts at the wrong times

[aftoyboy]

shut up kit!! you annoy me lol

[cmarshall1018]

thats fucking awesome ill give you $1500 for that car

[bigman55434]

Too bad you couldn't download the Homer Simpson voice into it back then.

[madmanmapper]

You know there's supposed to be an off swith for the voice in the glove compartment...

[markVIIchick]

That's sweet, it even says "Thank you" ^.^

[3308471]

@Schilcote Yes, AVGN all the way...

[ThePikachu1299]

Beep beep beep: I hate you! Lol

[pvclax]

I bought a used 86 Le Baron conv in 99 for $450. I felt like I was stylin on a budget. I loved the Marc Cross Interior w8way drivers seat...2 tone corinthian leather... Vrooom of Turbo was like a Hoover sound whirrlybird... Hood Ornament picked up sun nice...I loved it...My voice had been disconned unfortunately...

[MoonlightDelivery]

@Schilcote oh dam! Its prolly the same intellivision sound module haha This must have been an option, my buddies new yorker did not have this.

[Dunoj]

The thank you really cracked me up.

[funktron4]

Oh for the love of God----if it had been a European or Japanese import, you haters would be writing about how advanced it was, ahead of its time, yada, yada, yada.

[Tuneman1984]

I love how you cracked up right at the end lol....we had family friends that had one of these ages ago, might have even been the same year, I found the seatbelt warning hilariously '80s as I rode in this car sometime around 2000

[jriley1992]

Hey, your car cares enough about you.... lol.

[robertrivasphotos]

don't you feel like your on a Borg ship with all that green instrumentation?

[conantdandn]

your door is fukkin ajar

[mustangrules]

i didnt know a door is a jar i thought they was just doors lol, learn sumin new everyday lol

[killerzracing71]

My parents had one of those when I was a kid, I lol'd when it said thank you when you took the keys out. I dont remeber it saying that. Just your door is ajar, and fasten your seatbelt. The the thank you made me LOL literally.

[teamwhitebread2]

hahahahahahaa i would get mad and runn into a wall

[VladBlok28]

lol that must be the most squares i have ever seen in 1 car

[KkF00]

I like how it says thank you. LOL

[mi777ke777]

It be funny if you could edit in stuff like "shark!' or "Daddy Faggy" like from the Teletubbies. Even a Homer Doh! or Gigiddy gigiddy...Now that would be impressive. lol

[AerialTheShamen]

Seatbelt not locked =>"Please fasten your seatbelt..."

Door open =>"Your door is ajar..."

Seatbelt stuck in door hinge =>Car tries to say both simultaneously, ends up saying "You adore a jar?"

[mustangrules]

@AerialTheShamen lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ihmesekoilua]

Damn. We're in the future and our cars don't even talk that much.

[sharkxelectronics]

If my car talked one day I would tell him to shut up, I bout the car, I decide how to leave my door and headlights, son of a bitch hahahaha

[Gibson299]

that is fucking bullshit LOL

[StemDherd]

I have that same car. The 1987 Chrysler new yorker. Those seats are like couches, and that voice is actually very helpful. It's quite the conversation piece.

[Iwasbored76]

That would get really fuking anoying really fast lol

[Nintendoman2020]

I wish my mom's mercedes did that

[eswi1]

Dont forget your keys. Thank you DUMB ASS

[monkeylord88]

cool!



[breaktobroken]

haha that's a very polite car

[Hotrodx199]

This is a brilliant invention!

[mikee286]

I wish they made one with a sexy girl voice

[JWROWE3]

Nothing beats a car that cares.... It's the feel good ride of 1987....

[hemroidalrampage]

thats badass

[Hectorson3]

Your headlights are on......*turns them off* Thank You. LMAO!!!!!!

[ajpimp55]

u just crack up at the end hah

[boy3611]

OMG that was soo cool

[snower5554]

Its KITT from knight rider!!!

[redneon06]

I like that it tells you 'dont forget your keys' thats not so bad but the other things are just funny! It says 'thankyou' lol :D

[Lieutelant]

That's kinda cool, but it would get kind of irritating too, I think. Can you turn it off?

[ActionBastard85]

. . . ~nice tits~ *beep

[driftbyach]

would be better if it would say...

"your fucking door is jar you mothafucka"

and

"i sayed your fucking seat belt isn't fasten asshole"

that would be much better

noone would drive whitout seatbelt lol

[GameDude41]

I laughed when the guy operating the camera sniggered at the end when the car said Thank You. :3

[NESherv]

@Cook1993 Then you need something similar to the Mercury Mistress.

[tscanny90]

If my car talked, especially like that, I would probably kill myself lol

[san379]

in canada this voice would have to be in english but french also..( bill 101)

[PullinEasy]

ive heard of idiot lights but the car has to verbally teach you to drive?

[Lachlant1984]

The voice on that car reminds me of some of the TI talking toys suck as Speak and Spell, astually it reminds me more of Speak and music or Talking Lesson One which I used to have. I can't understand why these features aren't more common now with the advanced technology we have today. Does the voice come through the car radio's speaker system?

[neopia9]

@Lachlant1984 It's not common today because it's fucking annoying!

[ridgeracer00]

sounds like some 1980s future movie with like that voice thing

[stephqaz]

Omfg it's like a fucking plane with bitching Betty. Also the screens remind me of the avionics of an aircraft too.

[briabba123]

he he haven't seen one that says thank you

[piemanization]

BEEP BEEP BEEP Your Door is A Jar.

WUT? Lol.

[broxboy86]

i wish toyotas had this feature - beep beep brake failure!

[bessniak]

it would be better if a girl would talk !

[justin1138]

It was also available in the Dodge Lancer/Lebaron GTS cars that came out in '85 and lasted a few years. Also, the Dodge 600, I think.

[NESherv]

I wish my car talked.

[yamahonkawazuki]

then.... after a while it becomes the girlfriend nobody wants

[way2muchsense]

@NESherv So do I.  Then I can visit you at the funny farm in about a month. Man, the 80s were cheesy.

[admiraljimmy]

haha my dad used to have an 87, I used to love it, and I would always tell my friends he had a talking car haha.

[LaugermanPROductions]

does the Dynasty have this feature?

[jakesaintsrow123]

no only new yorkers and other chrysler luxury cars like the 1983-1984 chrysler e-class cars which are VERY RARE today but all other Chrysler cars from the 1980s are very common to see i see these everyday along with the k-cars

[LaugermanPROductions]

your door is a JAR, a cookie Jar!

[evinrudeboy6601]

@LaugermanPROductions when a car says my door is a jar i say my door is a door!

[cehin]

I knew a lady who had one of these cars back in the early 90s.  She said that they quit doing it in because older people hated it so much and most cars that did it were for older people. I guess car companies got hundreds of complaints about it back then.

[TechForThought]

why did they ever take all the computer voice and monitoring systems out of cars

it's cool and helpful

[AerialTheShamen]

@TechForThought I thing such systems still exist now for impaired drivers. How ever modern bord computers contain so much memory that it may be just turned off an can be enabled somehow deeply buried in a complicated menu, much like hidden stuff in Windoze.

I saw a TV docu about a German car (Audi?, Mercedes?) and how some people have trouble to use it. I also saw a report about car repair, where the bord computer of a newer car (a Citroen?) kept saying something like "check the air condition".

[Historyan1974]

That is absolutely awesome. I wonder if I could convert a similar voice that say's "Greetings!! Enjoy the ride." Into my mint 1982 Chrysler. When you open the door, there is is. But when you park it and open the door, it may say the same thing, Which would be odd if your leaving.... Perhaps a message thats neutral....?

[masterlee123]

Let me see a Lexus do that

[TNG128MB]

lol the lagh at the end :D

[rimcofw003]

My 86 New Yorker had that, and my 87 LeBaron did too, but it said much more, and instead of "don't forget your keys" it would say "your keys are in the ignition". Anyone with an old speak and spell should recognize the voice, as it has the same Texas Instruments voice synthesizer chip.

[brierejoe]

Hooked on phonics for the kids! (except they will grow up believing that a 'door' is a 'jar') lol

[MackAttack59]

omg lol

[bigwin06486]

lmfao

[DylanMayhew]

I wish my 1988 Chrysler new yorker had that but it dose not. it's just so cool how those cars talked. something to show off. because that was really advance back then.

[Gmancrap]

Im geting this for my first car, cant wait loved it as a kid.

[alexlovesmac]

Hey, at least it was courteous enough to say thank you. Haha. Interesting video. I thought most cars only had chimes, but it seems this has the voice thingy as well.

[mrceleb2006]

The 1984 Chrysler Laser XE had this feature.

[midnitesquirldog]

was this the car from the movie hear no evil see no evil lol....the parking brake has been released lol......

[chaseman94]

i think it was a Chrysler LeBaron convertable.

[crazyemoinu78]

Do you still have it? If you don't want it i'll buy it from you.

[comgeek24]

My grandfather used to have an '84 Dodge 600 (basically rebadged E Classes/Caravelles). You could get it with the Electronic Voice Alert but, like the digital dash, it was an expensive option and he didnt get it.

[jakesaintsrow123]

oh nice i have a 1988 dodge 600 2.2l turbo anyways does he still have his 1984 dodge 600??? and did his have the junk 2.6l Mitsubishi motor??

[comgeek24]

I think his was the 2.2l turbo. He bought the car fully loaded w/everything but the EVA and digital dash straight from the factory. The turbocharging was his favorite part of the car. It was a nice car, but, no, he doesn't have it anymore. He passed away and I think the engine went out on it, done in by an idiot who thought he knew how to work on Chryslers. The car was plagued with problems when he first got it.

[jakesaintsrow123]

oh so it had problems even when it was new?? thats strange what kind of problems??

[comgeek24]

Well, there was a grease stain on the SILVER colored seatbelt, it made this sound that my g-pa said in a letter to Chrysler sounded like a gatling gun going off-I can't remember what made the noise, and the windshield washers were WAY off target. I was barely a year old then, so I don't remember any of it.

[hawksleyart01]

LOL, My nagging car.!!!

It goes to show that cars are female. Tempramental and nagging.

[80stvfan09]

since the EVA came out back when Knight Rider was still new, it would've been cool if they got William Daniels (voice of KITT) to do the alerts instead of the Speak n Spell voice.

[mylesgifford123]

i wish my reliant had that it would be kind of cool

[anglberril]

im still driving a 84 new yorker 2.2 turbo lol i hear that shit everyday

[crazyemoinu78]

If you don't like it I'll take it off your hands!

[dodgechryslersucks]

cool video, I always thought those digital gauges and voice alert would be the future (just maybe more refined).

It was a good concept, I mean most people who drive are hell of stupid, 50-75 percent of them probably shouldn't even be on the road so I can see how this would help a lot of people who wouldn't understand what a buzzer or chime is trying to tell them (also people who don't read their owner's manual).

I'm not claiming anyone here needs it but I'm sure some could use it.

[jeepoffroad12345]

thats scary as fuck!!!!!!! i would rip that stupid thin out!

[79Datson]

I wish my Toyota. to me like this.

[79Datson]

lol.

[mtfune]

I wonder what it would tell you if you poured some vodka in its gas tank.

[GM1229NRS]

It'd probably say thanks...

[comgeek24]

Or, "Thankssshhh. Don't forget your (snore)...keys...."

[mtfune]

That would be PERFECT for me!! I am always forgetting where I placed my keys- It should say" Hey dipshit- get with the program!! You left your keys on the table when you came in drunk last night" That would be hilarious!! Of course I am reffering to myself as the dipshit.

[GameDude41]

I forgot my keys? Oh... Well, thanks Mortimer.

[McVaio]

:D

This is awesome!

[MrGoldenwaffler]

I love this system! my mom had an 84 new yorker - this car was true family fun for everyone!!! I wanna buy another NY just for the nostalga

[breaguy]

I took out the speaker that emits the voice commands. I got annoyed by the bossy commands.

[deloreanman14]

This is way too freaking cool...

My dad's Acura RL does this but on a lower level. All I've had it say is "Please fasten your seatbelt." It doesn't thank me...

[MMMMMDIESEL]

nagging oh yea but its so funny that it says "thank you" for doing what it says! LOL

[palebeachbum]

That's so cool I want a car that talks to me. This is one of the better sounding ones I've heard. Not as annoying as others.

[Jac2Mac]

Could you kindly replace the Voice Alert system in this Chrysler with a chime from an early 80's Cadillac? I think a Cadillac-like chime would suit this Chrysler much better than the Voice Alert system.

[randomrazr]

oh my god its you again. u cant change a voice system with a chime u dumb ass. honestly jac2mac stop flooding all the car videos wiht ur stupid chimes and buzzers!!!!!!!!!!!

[NadrianATRS]

does anybody know if the '85 model has this voice thing too?

[sideslide23]

yes, My grand Father used to own that model New yorker and it was fun hearing the voice, "Please fastion your seatbelt" " all monitor system are functionall" and bunch of it.

[obamainformation]

How much you want for that alarm ?

[Lumotaku]

I went with my grandma to buy a 1987 new. They had a scandal where chrysler dealers were putting miles on cars and selling them as new and my grandma like the 7 year/70,000 mile warranty. All I say is MY DOOR IS A DOOR NOT A JAR!

[LynolsOffice]

It simulates your spouse being in the car nagging you! Still realy cool though.

[kurtkomit]

In the words of Robin Williams: Maybe you have one of those cars that says "your door is open", and if your stoned you're going "I knew that!"

[harley145000]

your fuel is low

[peeweecee]

These were the best cars. I had two (sadly I inherited the second one from my aunt). Everyone got a kick when the car alerted me to fasten my seatbelt, then when complete it said "thank you". My one NYer ran forever, and took me everywhere for years and years with very little trouble. The 2.5 engines were bullet proof.

[Ronsky89]

a door is ajar? a door is a door! haha. i remember this car. my aunt had one of these back in the day. to DodgeAriez these cars were built with that voice thing. maybe they were an option

[nipperoid]

i want a talikng car! but my door is a door not a jar
