R34 "maintenance reminder lights" and mysterious voice

[thatjawncrazy]

 

who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious.

it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car.

I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings.

anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!

If they ain't reset buttons.....its going to be annoying when the oil light comes on

I'd guess it is aftermarket, not even dealer fitted option because it looks pretty low cost....you'd have to trace it out under the dash

Yep, looks like some random aftermarket bit that is likely generic as well. Personally I just log everything to a google doc.

This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it. 

Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn?

I love it so much.
