1. A vehicle-mounted message apparatus comprising a recording switch;
- a converter enabled responsive to an actuation of said switch for converting an applied voice message into an electrical signal;
memory means for recording and holding data corresponding to said electrical signal;
sensor means for sensing a vehicle starting condition and generating a start signal; and
reproduction means responsive to the start signal for reading out the data held in the memory means to convert to an output voice;
whereby an optional message recorded by a prior driver can be communicated to a present driver in voice form when the present driver is ready to drive.

2. A vehicle-mounted voice message apparatus comprising a record command switch, a reproduction command switch;
- converter means for converting an applied voice message into a corresponding electrical signal;
memory means for for writing therein data corresponding to said electrical signal;
means for sensing a vehicle starting condition to generate a start signal;
control means for controlling operations of writing in and reading out data of said memory means in response to actuations of the switches and in response to absence or presence of the start signal;
reproduction means for converting the read-out data to an output voice;
said control means including means for reading out data of the memory means and enabling the reproduction means for identification of the data soon after storing operation of the memory means, whereby an optimum voice message recorded by a prior driver is communicated to a present driver in voice form when the present driver is ready to drive. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 14)
