1987 Chrysler New Yorker Voice Alert (EVA)

[@Blahbevava]

My teacher bought one of these back in 1987 and took the entire class out to hear a car talk. We all thought it was so cool at the time.

[@SeekingTheTriple]

This is still cool wym 😂

[@lefeee8888]

A door🚪is a jar 🍯

[@SpeedDudeGTX]

It's cool till the wiring goes bad eventually. Chrysler is the most notorious for that too for example.

[@kingtudd]

Haha yes this is my childhood. We figured out that if you open all doors and then close the driver rear and open it again it would run through all of the voice warnings in a row. At least I think that was the pattern.

[@canadiandcute]

OMG, what a memory on Christmas!! we were just talking about this old car at dinner and I had to look it up on here. I totally forgot about my dad being goofy saying that same thing "no a door is a door" Thanks so much for the beautiful (shared) memory!! ❤️❤️

I love vintage Chryslers. Spats Bear has a 1986 New Yorker kzbin.info/door/pfr0u4qt2Uc1_QWksDOYBQ

[@MasterJim2020]

The Elevator World Personally, my favorite vintage Chrysler and Dodge vehicles are the 1991-95 Dodge Caravan/Chrysler Town & Country, 2001-02 Dodge Ram 1500, 2006-2010 Dodge Charger and 2002-07 Jeep Liberty. But the 1987 Chrysler New Yorker also comes close.

[@wpl955g9]

Happy memories... My grandfather gave his '87 New Yorker - in that hideous Rosewood Mist colour - to me and my brothers when he bought a new '97 Intrepid. (He'd been a Chrysler man since about '65, when four teenage boys passed him on the highway and hooted at my future mother and aunt, and his Chev was powerless to get away. That mid-60s Chrysler 440 was hard to beat. After that he had a Cordoba - upholstered in fine, Corinthian leather - before the '87 New Yorker.) I used to aim for the trifecta when parking: as I recall, the trick was to open the door just before stopping, then switch off the car with the headlights on. All at once, the car would say 'A door is ajar. Your headlights are on. Don't forget your keys!' Upon removing the keys, switching off the headlights and closing the door, it'd say "Thank you, thank you, thank you." Not at all, car, not at all.

[@MasterJim2020]

wpl955g It’s like the DYNEX TV in my room; where as every time I turn it on, the screen says “Please Wait.”

[@ColinPatrickxo]

Awesome story. I love it!!

[@alexsperring7545]

U had a very full life

[@BLITZKRIEG1221]

Brings back memories. I started working in a garage in 1987 doing oil changes and changing tires, I remember Chryslers coming in for service with the voice alerts and digital dash clusters, seemed so futuristic at the time! !

[@Perry7360]

The voice alert was really neat. I actually had a field day taking them out of junked chrysler new yorkers. I had one voice alert hooked up in a Lincoln and it worked very well.

[@Kiwi_is_awesome]

Oh wow this comment existed before I was born 😳

[@Luck00001]

@@Kiwi_is_awesome loser

[@PNWJMc]

We had an 85 New Yorker. If when sitting in the driver seat you opened the door and looked down and to the left there was a black button. If you held that button in the car would cycle through it's entire list of warnings. I think the ignition had to be ON but car not started.

[@RexWort]

I'm surprise that modern cars don't have this 😅

[@Kiwi_is_awesome]

It would be annoying hearing A Do0R iS AjAr every time you accidentally leave a door open. Or PlEAsE FAsTen Ur SEatBeLTs or whatever.

[@Titanic19127]

This is so far ahead of it's time!!! This is awesome

[@atomsmash100]

Speak and Spell. I love it. So '80s!

[@StephanS]

How cool is that?? I want that system in my car...

[@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.

[@chefcjnobles1680]

This feature was so cool and creepy at the same time! Imagine if they brought this back ALONG with cars parking and braking themselves today! Your car would finally be ALIVE!!!

[@hellzone100]

Corey Nobles They will bring it back in autodriveing cars lol.

Oh, here in 2022 they have Buick cars with built in Alexa and Hyundai’s With automatic parking, so you actually predicted the future 💀

[@T-Rex-nm1se]

This comment aged well. Hyundais have that feature where your car will get out of a parking space on its own as if the vehicle was alive. Crazy.

Don't forget your cheese

[@cojack424]

I was a kid when this model New Yorker was popular in the 80's..........My mother's friend had one and I was mesmerized by the"so called talking car".......I thought this car was "KIT" on the show Knight Rider"....😄😄

[@cojack424]

***** LOL....agreed!!!

[@user-74652]

I think I'd prefer this in modern cars rather than the beeps and dings they usually come with (although I did once drive a 2007 Hyundai with an actual mechanical chime in it for a bit, which I found nice). Pretty much equally annoying, but you know better what's going on, and this is the only car I've ever seen that thanks you for fixing the problem it alerts you about.

[@Parsec994a]

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

[@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.

[@roycenimchuk8425]

It only said that if you left them in the ignition for more than a few seconds

[@gman2015z]

First song you hear on the radio is Fly Away by Lenny Kravitz. Man I miss 2008.

[@redsquirrelftw]

Oh man that brings back memories. My grandma had a car like that, I don't actually remember it enough to confirm it's this model but it must have been as there were not that many. Her's was in French. It burnt to the ground while we were out blueberry picking. The only thing I can really remember is "don't forget your keys" but in French. Hearing it again but in English really brings me back as the voice sounds exactly like I remember it.

[@gm1990ss]

When i was 4, my babysitter had a new yorker in black. I want to say it was an 86, 87, or an 88 turbo. It had the dark interior and it was a bad ass car, especially when you have young kids and you open the door and the car says "A door is ajar." The voice sounds different than in the other videos i have to say.

[@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

[@paulnadratowski3942]

I had a 84 New Yorker. Loved that big comfy car

[@Stev417]

This video was made 2 days before I was born

[@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.

[@dolbyvixen]

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

[@rgrinny17]

i had a 85, the voice was revolutionary at the time

[@d.aliceden3095]

We had one of these and our favorite was when you had a door open and reversed it played the audio in reverse!

[@ggs6475]

The fact they had Fly Away by Kenny playing in the background was amazing

[@dodiemyra850]

brings back memories. I miss his company, always reminding me about my keys. lol

[@markVIIchick]

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

[@Kadzuku]

When I was a kid my parents had a car like this! I totally forgot that it thanked you 😂

[@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.

[@robertsummerhayes1220]

My dad had this car when it was brand new. He had a phone installed in it too. It was like living in the future having a talking car with a digital dashboard and a phone. It was Star Wars cool for sure

[@patricksaxon3983]

I love electronic instrument displays, better than analog. Too bad such instrument panels are no longer available any more. I loved the instrument panel on my 1988 Ford AeroStar as that was a cool van, all fully loaded.

[@RalphsPier1961]

[@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.

[@compwiz878]

this model new yorker is basically a k-car loaded with options and a name change from relient / ares k .since the drive train is the same as a k-cars power plant this car wouldve been sweet if chrysler had a v6 option but the v6's where avail starting around the later 80's and into the early 90's when they came out with the dynasty's and acclaims thats also when chrysler moved the newyorker /lebaron cars over from the k-car chassis to the bigger heavier plymouth acclaim and dodge dynasty chassis which offered a v6 or 2.5 4 cyclender or a multiport fuel injected turbo charged 2.2 engine

[@brettcannon74]

It is no't the same platform and the k cars were never offered with a turbo or leather, or the EVA. It's an enlarged platform given it's own platform letter.

[@94XJ]

Oh man...my grandma had one of these. I loved when it talked!

[@TheIdleCrow]

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.

[@Okiedokie94]

the car is more polite than many people i know.

[@Mr.Worf63]

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

[@farberam]

i have an pearl white '87 2.2lt turbo blue leather interior. i just found this out today, if you look on the driver side with the door open on the frame work where the door closes you should see a little black piece of cylindrical plastic that pushes in when the door closes.leave the door open and push it you can make it cycle through all of the voice warnings, in the end it will say "Thank you" and "All monitored systems are functioning". I thought it added just a little more to the 87 NY.

[@snowglobe-alj]

The most polite car known to man

[@dancoulson6579]

Can we all just take a few seconds to appreciate the beauty of that display panel... I want one that says "Don't forget to lock the doors." when you switch on the ignition. I wonder if you could wire that in. Maybe a small voice recorder module behind the radio, so it could use the cars speakers.

[@kamirazhor]

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

[@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

[@srgtazmania]

Our 1st car in America, it was awesome at the time !!

[@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.

[@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.

[@WineNationTV100]

I am surprised they didn't install this technology in the Grand Wagoneer! They were built by Chrysler starting in 87:) Being top of the line like the New Yorker you would think! I kinda like this, it's so 80's!

[@Kiwi_is_awesome]

Grand wagoneers came back ya know

[@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.

[@TwinStickFilms]

This is a brilliant invention!

[@PlaywithJunk]

everything is rectangular.... a miracle that the steering wheel is round

[@McShaggswell]

"A door is Ajar" What next? The window is a spoon?

[@Mr.Worf63]

@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.

[@TheDaedalx]

A door is not a jar it's a door..

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

My mom used to have a 1987 New Yorker that she named Ralph, after Ralph Reedman the car dealer. When it talked, I'd imitate it and say, "Your Ralph is barking. Thank you."

[@trollsthatlol1]

Good for when you're at a wine tasting event.

[@SBluesBrotherhood]

We always used to open the door with the keys in the ignition just so that we could make fun of the computerized voice... It would say "Don't forget your keys" and we'd respond with "Don't forget your CHEESE? We don't have any cheese in here!!!" or would make an obscure reference to The Mask movie where the dog is picking up the keys to get Jim Carrey out of jail and he has to tell the dog "Not the CHEESE, the KEYS!!!"

[@Stoneforth]

SBluesBrotherhood What a sad and painfully boring time that must have been.

[@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...

I did make a post on my Facebook a few days ago that has a link to this video, talking about that I think it’d be cool if most newer cars today could talk like this car. Just thought I’d let you know.

[@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...

[@timlamb6735]

A door is not a jar! It is a door!! Lol

[@cougrs48]

Ah, the good ole '87 New Yorker, one of my customers put 200,000 miles on his in about 19 years. That's what he told me anyways, he still owns the car and is currently redoing it to almost showroom condition.

[@ozzie_goat]

Don't forget your cheese!

[@Mad-Jelly-Fish]

My parents had a car briefly in the early 90s like this my sister just bought a Buick and I joked “does it ask if your door is a jar?” And she had no idea what I meant. Had to find brook my little 5 year old brain wasn’t making it up. 😂

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

[@ElevatingNoCo]

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

[@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.

[@EddieLeal]

Door is not a jar silly car! Its a door! :)

[@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?

[@manwich99]

Even Maybachs dont have these!

[@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

[@97I30T]

That's too bad that it doesn't say stuff like "your speed is too slow" anytime you drive below the speed limit.

[@Chinunit22]
