If it's saying all that stuff is wrong with the car, is that testing the instrument panel? Or were those issues really present? I'm thinking dodge got this idea from a certain early80's TV show, and made their own version, but it's all good. I'm honestly hoping that those issues were either a test of the instrument panel, or the panel malfunctioning. When it started saying all that stuff, all I saw was dollar signs and laughter.

I always thought that seeing the speedometer number figures roll into eights, and then roll back into nothing was the coolest thing ever back in the 80s. I believe my aunt had a loaded Buick that would do all that, minus the talking information center.
Chrysler Corporation had this same audible voice warning/advisory system on the Dodge 600. I was in trade school training to be an auto mechanic and was detailing a new Dodge 600 when it started telling me that the driver's door was open and to close it and since I never encountered a talking car before I'm looking around to see who said it and after 10 minutes of this I realized it was the car talking.
I have a question how hard is it to find a Dodge Daytona Shelby turbo Z with digital talking dash I can't seem to find the ones with the digital dash and etc
Well, the Electronic Voice Alert System (EVA) was technically not an option on Daytonas from the factory, only as an option on thr pricier, more luxurious counterpart, Chrysler Laser. However, a few Daytonas slipped through with the EVA from the factory... there were an estimated 490 Daytonas built between 1984 and 1989 with this option. So in answer to your question, they're very hard to find! (But not as hard to find as a Laser though - there are only a couple hundred of those known to still exist)
EVA wasn't manufactured at all for any models after 1987, and it was not available for Shelby Z #1 because it needed a boost gauge, #2 because analog gauges were considered to be more sport oriented by old farts that hated these cars anyway! You can either have a boost gauge or a message center. The vehicles you are referring to were likely special ordered by Chrysler employees or their friends. Some of the cars came with free beer cans too but that doesn't mean they were supposed to be in there. Where are you getting your info? Who estimated that number and how?? There are plenty of Lasers around too. Maybe that's because I'm from STL where most of these cars were built. They are still oozing out of the woodwork. I was actually born about a mile from the Fenton plant as the early '84 cars were rolling off the line. A buddy of mine has a Hi-8 video he shot of the last two G and J bodies going through the plant. He's dragging his feet on getting it digitized because he cares about muscle car stuff and like most that do, they let the history of the FWD cars slip into obscurity.
Actually, this system's 'voice' was completely synthesized by a computer program, developed under the Automotive Intelligence Program started by Lee Iacocca in 1981. The Electronic Voice Alert was the very first synthesized automotive computer monitoring system, and as so is the direct predecessor to many technological developments of the modern day (Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Siri, most automotive technology, to name a few). It is also considered the 'Holy Grail' of vintage electronics.
I didn't see you mention that the integrated circuit that makes it possible was built by Texas Instruments, and none of this would have been possible without them.
Back in the day this was really the best they could do. The only other option was to do recorded voicing. Ultimately recorded voicing has its own set of problems. Also the funding to do better really was not there at the time. It was not until the 1990's that voice synth got better funding and things improved. Heck even today its not quite were it should be.
My mom had a car with a robot voice. It was a 1985 Nissan Maxima. One time in kindergarten, we had to watch some video about car safety. In the video the cars talked like people do. I bragged to everyone that I already had a talking car. People looked at me like I was imagining things, but someone else's mom had some kind of Chrysler. People named the Nissan voice chip "Bitching Betty." Did Chrysler's system get a nickname? I described it is sounding like a 60 year old chain smoker.
The developers of the Automotive Intelligence Program (which gave birth to this system) nicknamed the system 'Chuck', though some variants have been referred to as 'Mortimer' and 'Jemma' (Jemma being a female-voice system that was designed to 'learn', becoming more efficient and in-sync with the driver. Unfortunately, that system never saw mass production).
Skyline Fever, by the end of production in 1988/1989 Chrysler Corporation installed a switch in the glovebox that enabled the driver to either turn off the Electronic Voice Alert System or switch it from a male to female voice. I've heard people refer to the male voice as "Hal" taken from the computer in the movie "2001 A Space Odyssey" and the female voice as "Eva" from the initials of the system.
That's exactly why Shelby Z was not available with digital dash or EVA. This car is either a Premium, Pacifica, or was modified, which is a total pain in the ass to add EVA. Digital dash swaps aren't too bad.
@@marklucas3140 Pretty sure that's a first gen Daytona/Laser with a second gen dash (out of a lebaron if I had to guess). Second gen (87+) Daytona's didn't have the wiring for the EVA stock. Still idk where the boost gauge went even after 8 years.
This is bad a**. I didn't even know the Daytona's had Digital Dashes in them.I always thought they were Analog like all the other boring Chrysler Co. vehicles.The only thing I wish these cars had was RWD.That & bigger motors.The 2.2L was slow as piss.
Most Daytonas never had this option - the luxurious counterpart, Chrysler Laser, usually had this system. However, even though it was technically not a factory option, a few Daytonas slipped through the cracks with the EVA system installed.
While the EVA and digital cluster were an option package on the Daytona's more luxurious (and more expensive) counterpart, Chrysler Laser (though the top-level XE model came standard with both), Dodge Daytonas were not SUPPOSED to have these items as factory options. However, an estimated 490 Daytonas slipped through between 1984 and 1989 with either the digital cluster, EVA System, or both. Just because they are very rare does not mean they don't exist!

Nice! Were you off to work?
Is nobody gonna question why he has so many problems with his car?
LOL
Gosh this is so cool and many ppl still dont know what amazing gadgets had cas like this.
Definitely a Chrysler if all these error codes are kicking.
What don’t you have
This digital dash is so rad.
Your oil level is low. Your engine is about to blow!
I really want a talking Chrysler

Literally watch this video all the time. My first car was an '84 Dodge Daytona Turbo and I have wanted this car ever since lmao

I have something similiar with this dashboard in my 1988 Toyota Cressida GX71. But the speedometer isn't working (always 0km/h) how can i repair?

As well as New Yorker and LeBron
this says please more than the kids now days lol
My 1985 New Yorker would say "all monitored systems are functioning" but only once in a while.
Reminds me of military jet fighters

You are at almost 300,000 miles. Get a new car

That's a cool dash.
the sound of it starting and the dash sweep together is just so freaking cool!

Isn't that where the boost gauge would go ( especially on a Shelby z) as well? Where is it now?

Nice where are you located how many miles on the car?
The 1984 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z never had a digital instrument cluster nor an electronic voice alert.
Do some research
But the Chrysler Laser XE did.
