1982 Nissan Maxima used 3-inch phonograph for voice warnings

May 11, 2009

Analog enthusiast Eric Schlaepfer from Maxim Integrated Products sent over this link that describes how Datsun (Nissan) used a tiny phonograph in the 1982 B810 (Maxima) in order to play 6 voice warnings. Vinyl never goes out of style. Eric goes to the electronic flea market and knows many of my pals are record nuts. He told me about some neat Dallas/Maxim microprocessors this weekend—I usually don’t think of Maxim for micros but Eric said to check them out—they have some really cool features.

Nuts for Nissan commented:

Ah yes, mine was an ice blue '82 Maxima. And well I remember "her" voice: "Right door is open", or "Key is in ignition". We called "her" bit%$ing Betty" and, after she said "Right door is open" I would jokingly say "Shut up b&^ch!" as my wife and I opened the car doors to exit. That is to say I did that until one time when my wife was with me and was very pregnant. As we left the car I issued my joke expletive and an elderly couple heard it, looked at my very expecting wife and then gave me the dirtiest nastiest looks I have EVER received. My wife laughed. I stopped talking back to Betty. I think someone is still driving that car; it was rather like a tank.
