I know it's probably an unusual Question, but if you look at my name, you might understand why:

how much does that engine weigh?

you also forgot to add the price

fascinating replies. thank you guys, please keep them coming. it's interesting to learn of the experiences people have with this iconic feature. maxwellmilian, I believe I may have a solution for you this guy installed a multi camera DVR system in his car he provides a complete walk-through: http://...

hmmm... interesting what counties/jurisdictions do you guys have experience with? and please, anyone who has anything to add, feel free it would be a neat trick to play if you can get the light bar to change colors like some LEDS do you know why I pulled you over? uhh no officer you have an illegal ...

I realize every state town and city is different... however, I would like to know what are various people's experiences regarding the scanner bar and the police? I know cops in most localities are fairly uptight about civilians having blue or red lights on a car in some places it's illegal no matter...

Has anybody been able to get the 2009 map update to install? All the other functions installed perfect but the maps fail to load. Thanks I still have not gotten the maps to load. I have no idea what to do I need to learn more about how the unit handles the files hi ! I've read through these posts a...

I have been trying to create a new .WMV file in the exact screen dimensions. I'm hitting a wall though because even though everything plays perfectly on my laptop, when I transfer it over to the mio, it gets all choppy. It will always do that. Thats why I made the 'binary animation' the way that I ...

when the unit does a full boot, it plays the animated MIO logo with the orange background


I did not see that file in my back up of the units files.

oh cool.

awesome. I used the two graphics you posted earlier.

I wonder if we can replace the still frame image with an animated one for the voice box splash

what sort of graphic updates are you talking about?

oh sorry, I forgot that part: I'm in NY something else interesting I just found: with your 2009 maps, on the mio I opened up the mio desktop software to see what would happen, and it sees the maps that are on the device, it says they are installed. and it knows which maps are there, it sees that Al...

Thanks taoworm. I will download the KR upgrade you've made (when I get a good window of time for my slow internet!). It'll be fun to load it onto a KR GPS, and I'm sure I can find a map to work somewhere! Thank you taoworm2323 for your hard work. :good: I asked about the ability to use the Kitt fea...

okay, just for the heck of it, I decided to remove all maps and I still got "some maps failed to load" message, but after that, on the map loading screen it now says "no maps available" so with your updated maps it is seeing some maps, but not my area? I'm on the east coast BTW.....

does anyone know how to make a custom SAPI5 voice?
if so... perhaps it can be done using the files Rafael cleaned up and cataloged

it would be great to have a TTS version of KITTs voice

I'm also not getting the maps to load. I'll give you as much details as I can maybe you see somethign that I'm not noticing. it says "some maps failed to load" then shows me the empty map screen with KITT in the middle of nowhere :lol: the clock is 2 hours behind now too... not sure why or...

Further to my above message, I wanted to add that I have found the KITT_USA folder in my Program Files/MioMore Desktop folder and run the KITT_USA settings to restore MOST of what I lost. The greeting is there and all the names are there, but I still can't find the KITT voice data for GPS voice gui...

if it can play back sound it should be able to hear it somehow. I'm not sure that there is a way to solder a mic on the board since it is probably a custom design. that's why I suggested bluetooth or using the usb port. and the OS is a cut down version of Windows CE so what we need to do is find the...

well since you're into building things, why not make the real thing: Anamorphic Equalizer - KITT's most apparent feature was his front scan bar called the Anamorphic Equalizer. The device is a fiber-optic array of electronic eyes. The scanner could see in all visual wavelengths as well as X-Ray and ...

now looking at a way to possibly make this GPS respond to voice commands -- it may be more trouble than it's worth... or perhaps not... this proves to be a challenge because it doesn't have a built in microphone. however, the base software is WindowsCE and there is voice recognition software for tha...

hi folks, I'm new here. I searched around couldn't find a definitive thread for all things concerned wit the MIO Knight Rider unit, so I wanted to start a thread that can be easily found that will have useful information and write ups for people to follow. Some things I've learned about it: it seems...

I don't have this package, but it does give me an idea. to do Val or Williams voice has anyone considered the concatenative synthesis approach to replicating the voice? Concatenative synthesis: Concatenative synthesis provides a natural sounding synthesized speech. The process involves a professiona...
