Nah, that's fully synthesized, and people hated cars like that ever bit as much as they should have.
"Your door is ajar" fueled thousands of failed stand up comedy routines, as it should have.

Nissan, not Chrysler, in fact did use a small phono record. It actually sounded pretty good, since it used natural speech. You'd think, ah, the Japanese, surely they had electronic voice synthesizer technology ahead of the US. Nope! Ultra-miniaturized record player.
They did develop a solid state version of their own by '85.

Huh. I stand corrected. Could have sworn I'd seen a video about using that odd LP style "tech" back then. Maybe a different auto maker used it, or maybe my brain is bad.
