You forgot two seasons worth of dashes.

Here is some answers from the past for this same question: http://www.knightrideronline.com/phpbb/ ... .php?t=680

3rd/4th season is what my Kitt has. Karr will of course have the 1st/2nd season dash, or as us conversions call them "One TV and two TV"

Where did you get the picture for the 3rd generation dash from?I saw it on kr archive I think or universe a long time ago.I think it was in a collection of knight rider pics from Japanese computer artists.The ones I have are not that clear though.

Heres another.

Does anyone knows if this computer artist has a website? The dash pictures looks very impressive, it would be great to see more of them!

Oh yeah, and my favourite dash is the 2tv-version, either 1st or 2nd season version.

All I remember about the pictures is that I found them on the Knight Rider Universe.I just checked it and the pictures are gone or I'm looking at another site that took the name.I did find something though.I went through the other knight rider universe or the updated one and saw some pics from the episode of different strokes with knight rider guest starring.There are some pics of a scene where David drives kitt by a guard and the guard tells him to go over there.I thought that scene didn't exist turns out I was wrong it did take place.I just wish I could get a clip of that.I already have the clips of the main part of the knight rider guest appearance provided by the Knight Rider Archive.

Thanks! I can't wait to do Karr.

It will be interesting to see your Karr Dash. Kitt's looking pretty awesome.

Oh, and btw, my favourite Dash is Karr's from KvK.
I just love the yellow voicebox.

Thanks guys! My Karr will be the KvK version complete with 2 tone paint job and yellow scanner. He'll also have all the first/second season stuff inside.

Erm, didn't KARR have a yellow voice box in both Trust Doesn't Rust and Kitt vs. Karr? I don't remember it ever being another color.

Garthe Knight · Post by **Garthe Knight** » Wed Mar 19, 2003 9:23 am

Eerrr, yeah, Karr always had the yellow voicebox. But in TdR he didn't really have a dash. It was only the voicebox in front of a silver plate.
In KvK you can see the voicebox being built into the car, so Karr has a complete dash.
Karr is exactly lookin' like Kitt in the second season, just the voicebox is yellow.
That's what I wanted to say with my post.

knightimmortal · Post by **knightimmortal** » Wed Mar 19, 2003 1:34 pm

Actually, KARR's voice box looks a whole lot more like KITT in the third season, not so much the second season, and in TDR, he did have the dash in some scenes.

Just nitpicky down to the last detail, I guess.

Garthe Knight · Post by **Garthe Knight** » Thu Mar 20, 2003 9:36 am

Yeah, Karr had the dash, but that's because in these scenes it was the model they used for Kitt. So in these scenes the model had Kitt's voicebox (look at the red light when Tony speaks to Karr), but it wasn't shown directly.
You never see Karr's voicebox built into the dash.

Oh, and Karr's voicebox is nearly identical to Kitt's second season voicebox.
Sorry to say that, but it's definitely not like Kitt's third/fourth season voicebox.
See:
Karr's 3rd season:

Kitt's 2nd season:

and Kitt's 3rd/4th season:

and to make it complete karr's first season:

And if you count the LEDs 2nd season Kitt and 1st/3rd Karr have 16 each row, while 3rd/4th season Kitt has 18, that's why the voicebox looks longer. It actually is longer.

Garthe Knight · Post by **Garthe Knight** » Thu Mar 20, 2003 9:40 am

Oh, and here is another pic for Kitt's 3rd season voicebox.
I also made a "new" version for Karr, when I read some fanfic where Karr was rebuilt. I thought this way Kitt and Karr would be more identical again.
Here they are:

One more little detail about voiceboxes, in pilot episode KITT's red square voicebox is slightly different than later, look at the "auto cruise, normal cruise, pursuit" lights, they are wider than later episodes (or even some scenes in pilot).
Later the red square and lights under it has rounded corners instead of sharp corners as in pilot. The first pic on this thread shows very well the pilot voicebox details.
KARR seemed to have rounded corner cruiselights in TDR and KvsK and KITT had rounded version lights too after pilot to 2nd season.

Garthe, very good, you are correct!

Now, we do have a bit of a problem. Do you know how long this page is taking to load on slower machines? Please? No more pictures in this thread? If there are some that are not necessary to prove the point, would you mind pulling them off?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, no problem.
I made the images as small as possible, each gif around 30-40kb, but ok.

No unnecessary pics.
