Geoffrey,
The good news is that this device can be removed.
The bad news is that it will cost you half of everything you own, except,
perhaps, the plane itself.
The good news is that it will be worth every penny!

You have a voice annunciator for corrosion?
I've never heard of one of those. However, I have found a very
effective voice annunciator for flying too *often*. It's very
sensitive, and it adjusts the stridency of its warnings in direct
proportion to both the last 3-6 weeks of flying history and the amount
of the previous month's flying club bill. If not much flying has been
going on, it stays quiet. If you have flown only a little bit, it
merely emits frustrated sighs as you leave for the airport. If you
have been flying as much as you probably should to maintain currency,
it begins speaking aloud, usually asking questions like, "Again?", and
"So when are you going to get insert some non-flying task here
done?". And finally, if you have been flying as much as you wanted,
you will see the volume increase to ear-splitting levels, the voice
frequency reach into the soprano range, the questions turn into both
declarative statements and dire predictions, and the language evolve
into something that would make most sailors blush. As an added option,
it can also start throwing dishes, frying pans, and rolling pins at
you.
My annunciator is called a "wife". If you want to buy mine, let me
know!
Really honey, if you happen to catch this on Google, it was all a big
joke, OK. No, no! Look, it was just a little joke. I thought the
guys would all get a big laugh over it! I'll get the lawn cut as soon
as the weather clears up, I promise. What? Yes, dear. I'll get those
shelves up right now, dear. Yes, dear.
