Programmable GM MP3 Chime Module | Custom Restomod Electronics

$79.99

Ewalt’s Custom Programmable GM Chime Module

Ditch the harsh, outdated factory buzzer. Designed for custom builds, sleepers, and restomods, this programmable chime module replaces legacy GM warning electronics with a high-fidelity MP3 player. Driven by an ATtiny84 microcontroller and genuine YX5200 audio silicon, it precisely mimics OEM priority logic while giving you total control over the audio files.

Key Features & OEM Logic Integration

  • Custom Startup / Welcome Sound: Trigger a specific audio file (engine roar, movie quote, or modern system-check chime) the exact moment the ignition transitions to RUN.

  • Intelligent Priority Sequencing: Prevents audio overlap. The module actively reads your vehicle's states and prioritizes alerts in the background (Startup > Headlamps > Key in Ignition > Seatbelt).

  • Factory Seatbelt Nag Timer: Mimics modern GM architectures. Triggers an initial 5-chime warning at key-on, followed by a 60-second silent interval before repeating, instantly canceling the moment the belt is buckled.

  • MicroSD Expandable: Swap sounds instantly. Supports MicroSD cards up to 32GB. Load your 44.1kHz / 128kbps MP3s and map them to physical triggers.

Hardware Specifications

Built to survive harsh automotive electrical environments. No cheap clones, no thermal runaway.

  • Microcontroller: Atmel ATtiny84 handling precise millisecond-level timing and state-tracking.

  • Audio Processor: Genuine DFRobot YX5200 IC with built-in 8002A 3W amplifier. (Idles at a safe ~20mA to prevent parasitic battery drain).

  • Signal Isolation: All logic triggers (Ignition, Headlamps, Seatbelt, Key/Door) are decoupled via optocouplers to protect the MCU from 12V automotive voltage spikes and alternator noise.

  • Power Regulation: Onboard LM2940 low-dropout (LDO) regulator with a 470uF LC filtering stage to ensure clean DC power.

File Mapping Configuration

The module reads standard MP3 files from a FAT32 formatted MicroSD card. Files must be placed inside a root folder named mp3 and numbered sequentially:

  • 0001.mp3 – Headlamps ON (Ignition OFF)

  • 0002.mp3 – Key in Ignition / Door Open (Ignition OFF)

  • 0003.mp3 – Seatbelt Unbuckled (Ignition ON)

  • 0004.mp3 – Welcome / Startup Sound (Ignition ON, Single-Shot)
