The best I can come up with is that, they had the data that was copied, but could not use that data without the AI itself. So they needed both the chip and the copied data to reactivate KARR.
It's half-assed at best, but that's what half-assed writing gets you.

Nice.
What software are you doing this in?

Yup. TKR was too much Power Rangers, not enough Knight Rider. Though it never got as abysmally bad as Power Rangers could, it was, all in all, not good enough to succeed as a KR Production. And KR2010 was KR-INO(In Name Only). There were zero similarities past the title and the fact that the dude ha...

Well, haven't checked their message boards, but the User Reviews at IMDb's KR08 page are pretty good. Out of 11 comments, only 2 are negative.

That is funny. Which Michael's it talking too though?
But I dunno about KI2T appearing in KR08. I mean, Not only would it get extremely confusing, but technologically, as much as I like KI2T...he's basically obsolete. The only great thing about him is the MBS.

NAME: K.A.C.I. What it stands for is in my sig. voice: I'm thinking Angelina Jolie or Monica Bellucci. Personality: Sarcastic, quite intelligent. Classy. Sense of humor a must. Car: I was thinking the Dodge Viper, but that's a bit too conspicuous. So, the new Dodge Challenger. Interior: Pretty mini...

Well, that is an awesome KARR replica. The customized doors are WICKED COOL.
And yeah, it looks better with the all-black interior.
I also think KARR looks better with the all-black paintjob and the scanner in yellow instead of red.

Okay, Michael Bay putting flames on Optimus Prime was one thing - I can actually accept that, as it looked cool. Flames on KITT looks a little weird IMO. That said, it's well done for a rush job, congrats. One other thing I'd suggest is painting the inside of the wheels black, and it'd look even bet...

Given how tiny the earwig is - it's so small that when it's fitted you can't see it from the outside - I have to disagree with you. A guy talking to his watch is, I think, far more noticeable than a guy who might simply be talking to himself(as some do, myself included) or on a phone using a wireles...

GOOD LORD, that was hilarious.
Though, I find it an interesting coincidence that the scanner on this spoof-KITT is green.
Hey, at least we have a smilie for it.

Pretty sure it was always an '82. Never looks to be a more recent model, though I suppose they could've used a more recent one with a body kit in later seasons.
I really don't know, but I'd say they stayed with the '82.

What strikes me as odd, though, was that they let a civilian drive up and down anywhere near the bank, in the middle of a hostage situation. While they may have wondered initially why "this guy in the Mustang", as it would've looked to them, was driving around, I don't think they gave a *...

By usual standards, this is definitely positive press.
Nice to see some people outside the KR fanbase willing to give '08 a second chance. Hopefully, NBC will too.

AMEN. Besides, the new KR Theme's an awesome remix. I have it on my Mp3 Player, and I listen to it all the time.

Only time I recall actually seeing the logo change was in the first episode.

Simply adding something: I have two scenes that stick out as my favorites in the episode - and they're not necessarily verbatim, just recalling form memory here: During the conversation between Mike and KITT, and Mike brings up HAL from 2001. KITT replies: "I find that movie extremely confusing...

Actually, if you look really carefully, you'll notice that they're not very consistent about that - sometimes it does change, but quite often it shows the regular Shelby Cobra logo instead. Here's a couple of screencaps for example, taken from KRO, neither of which shows the changed logo: http://kni...

that is really neat-looking.

http://knightrideronline.com/forum/download/file.php?id=1228 YESSSS!!! Awesome news right there. Finally, things're starting to look up. I must confess I only started paying attention to our ratings recently, but I can't believe Obama hurt us so badly - I mean, Christ that's a big, big drop - Five ...

Veeery cool. Especially including Turbo-Boost and Ski Mode in the intro.
10/10 from me.

I LOVED this episode. I thought it was a pretty great episode, despite having a bit of a problem with the pacing - it felt like it ran slow and then went into fast-forward at the end. Other than that, and the thing vaguely reminding me of similar situations in two of my favorite movies, and KITT's s...

I think I agree with Lynda that if Dave Andron had played a bigger part from the get-go, and GST had been less influential, we would've gotten there faster, with the FBI angle pursued as an introductory element, and resolved earlier on, than we got. Moreover I think that if Dave had been the one run...

My God, so much hate...And that has to be the longest run-on sentence I've ever seen. change stearing wheel back to the way it was By that do you mean the way it was in the Pilot or in the original series? get rid of the dumb globe go back to what the movie had There I agree that the movie-version d...

My preference, in order? Pilot Movie "Pursuit Mode" (I call it that because calling it "Attack Mode" makes no sense IMO given that all it's been shown to do is go faster) - Normal mode - Series "Attack Mode" If they'd kept the Movie's version for the series Attack Mode,...

Maybe KI3T is a turbocharged KR? "Superboost" sounds kinda silly when you think about it - For some reason it brings to my mind images of baby-Superman in a blue-red-yellow booster seat :D I figured on something like that, where KITT had a set of strategically positioned, dedicated thruste...
