Re: 1.10 - The Final Verdict
I can't find any reference to a Bent Arm Bar on Google Maps, and the street's too blurry to read. KITT traced the number to area code 415, which is San Francisco. He then refers to a Claremont Bay being about 474 miles away. There is no Claremont Bay within that distance, or any shoreline in the US.

Did KITT ever have the green numerics that Mark's Custom Kits has?

T-Tops in bright sun
I get a lot of bright sun where I live, and I was wondering if the T-Tops get irritating in bright sunlight either in the mornings or evenings.

Re: KARR's scanner in "Trust Doesn't Rust."
I'm sure we can record the scanner sound and have it play back as well as the normal KITT sound from the original series. If I remember correctly, KARR's scanner made a different, more mechanical/hollow/reverb sound in the 3rd season.

Re: KARR's scanner in "Trust Doesn't Rust."
I'm sure you're right on that. There are times when the outermost lights just don't light up on either the right or left. Those I'd call glitch. The Soul Survivor version sounds more like an intentional thing, and KARR, maybe could go either way, but I could be wrong! Does anyone's replica scanner h...

Re: 4th Gen. Firebird knight rider dashboard
Wow, Banshee or the 97 Firebird, they look great! I'd have tried an 8-LED lamp myself, but yours looks pretty cool as-is. Is there a turbo hood that looks like the 3rd gen available for that version of the Trans Am? If it were me, I'd get rid of the firebird, try to add bowling ball hubcaps, and get...

Re: 1.08 - Trust Doesn't Rust
Near the end, Michael and KITT pass a very 80's KFC (possibly this one: 991 S Catalina St, Los Angeles, CA 90006; since it soon passes an intersection after KFC), and just before a Magnolia Bl or St. between 38:10 and 38:40. I don't know if they're still there. After KARR turbo-boosts out, there's a...

KARR's scanner in "Trust Doesn't Rust."
Has anyone noticed in Trust Doesn't Rust, at 32:50 to 33:00 how KARR's scanner runs a bit differently? It runs to the middle, leaves one light lit, and also keeps going left. Once it bounces back to the middle, that light then continues to the right, then back again like before. Anyone else notice t...

Third Season Dashboard functions
I found this image of the board from the third season: http://www.juhaterho.fi/drawings/kitt/season-3-dash-2002/season-3-dash-2002.png It lists out pretty much everything from the dash. I'm not worrying about the convertible mode or the switchpods, but aside from those, I was wondering if someone co...

Re: Where is the surveillance mode indicator located?
You are right, they didn't really do much in seasons 3/4 without the push-buttons. I think I saw it once or twice when Michael pressed the buttons, over using voice command, but I don't remember the episodes. For me, I'm wanting the dash itself to be actually functional, rather than just a bunch of ...

Re: Where is the surveillance mode indicator located?
If Advance Designs is the only one who has a functional button, then it looks like they're the ones I will need to use for that panel. As far as panels go, what do people do with a season 3/4 whose PANP are not actual buttons? How do they switch between those four lights? And can I use just that one...

Choice of Vendor
Hi everyone, I'm doing some investigating on which vendor to get each part for the car itself, and I've seen quite a few. I was wondering if you might be able to share your experiences as to which parts are the most durable in your cars, and are the most screen accurate, either 1/2-season or 3/4-sea...

Re: KITT Replica with functional abilities
I read someone putting up the backup sensors in the car, and a backup camera , I forget who, but I thought that would be a great idea to have indicators when someone's in my blind spot on either side. I don't know if someone has already created something for it, but while driving, have an on-screen ...

Re: Where is the surveillance mode indicator located?
Wow, thanks! That was quick! For the season 3/4, there was no set of 4 buttons (power, auto, normal, pursuit) anywhere on the dash, but the readout panel seemed to act like buttons. For those using a 3/4 dash, does yours integrate buttons there?

What's the difference between a 1982 to 1992 Trans Ams?
I'm looking through eBay and various places nearby for possible Trans Ams, and I'm wondering what the differences would be in getting a 1982, 83, 84, or 85 vs. a 1991/1992 Trans Am for conversion into KITT. Are there any advantages to having a '92 car to start with, technologically speaking? From wh...

Re: KITT Replica with functional abilities
Yeah, I would be a bit worried on accidentally firing such a grappling hook and having it implant itself into some SUV nearby. It would look cool for show though. The currency dispenser might be doable. I would just have to remember to load it with cash. The printer, possibly less likely given the h...

Season 3/4 upper and lower console images and functions
A separate question for everyone, especially those who have created replica KITT/KARR vehicles before. What does your upper and lower console look like? And have you made the buttons functional for something (trunk release, hood release, garage door openers, etc.)? What're the LEDs on the upper cons...

Re: Where is the surveillance mode indicator located?
Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for, I appreciate it. As for season 3/4, I guess I'll just use the same location since I can't really think of anywhere else for it. I doubt I can fit a printer under the dash (darnit!) but, perhaps a 'cash dispenser' that they used very obviously in one ...

Re: KITT Replica with functional abilities
The original series GPS was weird to me...it always looked like the same maps, over and over (probably was). In my eventual KITT, I'd opt for a regular GPS-style, but hopefully have the voice readout through the voicebox and car speakers if possible. Fire extinguisher, probably not doable as shown i...

Where is the surveillance mode indicator located?
It seems we always see it up close, so I wonder - where is the indicator for surveillance mode located? I saw a replica place it at the T-Top once, and others place it under the TVs. How would it fit in with the currency dispenser, printer, and the slide-out box scanner?

Re: KITT Replica with functional abilities
That's a pretty good idea, I'll look into that one. I was re-watching Knight of the Phoenix, and it looked like the two TVs were acting like dash cameras, so that would make sense to have that. I do definitely want a back-up camera that will activate when I put the car in reverse. When getting switc...

Re: KITT Replica with functional abilities
After seeing Knight by a Nose, it would be nice to see about a little money dispenser slot and if possible a fire extinguisher nozzle.
