I brought this up a few years ago where the EVTM showed a voice alert module , yet no car we know of was produced with it.

Tom (turbocoupe50) confirmed this a long while back

There is a mention on coolcats site, that it has been used in 83 cats, but most of them were swapped to standard warning chime under warranty. I remember a video couple years ago, where somebody had this module off an early aero bird or cat.

They did exist and were used on our cars. Finding one...that's another issue altogether. I haven't found any lately, new or used. It may be possible to use one from another Ford that may have had a similar option, perhaps a Lincoln. That's the best info I have at this point.

Uhhh I don't remember that(really)... Having owned only one '86 and none earlier, I have next to zero experience with the earlier models...

The 84 shop manual says it was used in Mark VII, T-Bird and Cougar.
The 83-85 EVTMs cover it. The 85 indicates it is for 2.3L only.
Here is an article you may find interesting:

The shop manual P/N 10D974
I don't know if you add a E3 or E4 prefix to that makes it a valid P/N or not.

Leaves me out, I only have '86 & '88 EVTM and a set of '86 & '87 Shop manuals...

I looked at a car with one, it also had both the stalk signal horn and the regular horn button. I believe it was an 84 model year car.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I have only heard one 83 Heritage with the module and it was a female voice, maybe 5 or 6 warnings.  Door is open,  lights are on etc

I had the Chrysler version in one of my old turbo dodges about 14 years ago, and I really, really got a kick out of how people reacted to it. When I learned that a similar system could be found in some Tbirds, I very carefully listened to the muted sound of my new to me '83 Heritage with great antition hoping to hear a voice, but was disappointingly greeted only by the faintest sound of ding-ding-ding.

I would add it to my car if I could obtain the parts. No doubt about it.

Well, it seems to be easier to make a brand new one, than waiting for one placed on ebay/craigslist/...

Warning chime has these inputs/outputs:
1 - seatbelt lamp
2 - RUN PWR
3 - ACCY PWR
4 - door open in
5 - lamps on in
6 - key in switch in
7 - tone in (probably something like "Check gauges" warning)
8 - door ajar in
9 - seatbelt buckle in
10 - GND

That means it should be able to tell these sentences accordingly to forgotten task:
Door is ajar.
Please fasten your seatbelts. (+ Thank you.)
Your headlights are on.
Don't forget your keys.
Please check your gauges.

You may check them in google translator - it has speech synthetiser with female voice.

Do you like it? Would you buy it if I make this thing work? I'd like to fit it inside the original case.
