This may be a dumb question but here goes.

My son just got a toy firetruck, when certain buttons are pushed it has a recording I guess you would call it, that says there is a fire at such an address.

Is there any way to change what the loaded audio says. I am a firefighter and I would like to put a sound clip from one of our runs into it if it is possible. I know a lot of you are going to think I'm nuts :crazy: but if you were a firefighter and had a 6 yr. old son, you would better understand. Thanks.

Almost certainly not possible without serious hacking.

Who makes it and what's the model? I can ask some of my toy hacker friends.

It's a Tonka, wasn't even sure if it was possible without to much trouble. Only number I can find is #05329 Thanks.

If it has a removable memory chip with the sound it's possible,but

most home electronics products use a chip on board that cannot be

removed or reprogrammed.These are usually custom circuits built

for one use in large quantity and of the cheapest components so

not usually upgradeable.
