Knight Rider 2000 Questions
Hi, it has been a while since I last saw the movie and I have a few questions:
-Is there any mention of Bonnie or April or RC3 in the movie? If not, is there a reason for the omission?
-Did KIFT have a voice before Michael installed KITT's voicemod?
-Did KIFT have a forward scanner before Michael installed KITT's infared scanner?
-What was the point of that "virtual reality mode" in KIFT?
-Did KIFT have turbo boost, silent mode. etc.?
-What happened to the original Trans-Am version of KITT? If it was scrapped, how was it scrapped?

Here are the answers to your questions:
1) No, and no. It just seems like they moved on, or were just ignored.
2) Yes, KIFT's voice was identical to Maddocks.
3) I don't think he did have the scanner, but I am not too sure on that one.
4) The VR Mode was misnamed. It was a "Head's Up Display" that was supposed to superimpose other images (IR, etc.) over the general display.
5) KIFT didn't have turbo boost, silent mode, or any of the original series features. The most wow type mode he had was floating on water. Otherwise, they were busy re-naming all the functions.
6) The original version of KITT was recycled. KITT was dismantled and sold off to the highest bidder, and his body was...recycled.
You can find these and other nitpicks at http://www.knightridercollective.com/kr2k/Kr2Knits.htm
(Yeah, they have been relocated from Knight Rider 2000: Online for the time being, until further notice, for those who are wondering.)

I missed the 'highest bidder' story part...so your saying that any person could have obtained KITT? i thought KITT was meant to be a secret within the world. selling him off isn't exactly keeping anything confidential.

ok, i thought the parts were all sold together, which , in result, could have given away a few things but just HOW do you give a description of those parts to buyers? ya think they were described just as normal computer parts that ppl would wanna buy?
if so, that's a strange auction.

If it were today, I would say they probably auctioned off his parts on ebay, and they also mentioned that several of his parts went to 'Research Institutions'.
The concept of keeping KITT's components a complete secret were thrown out the window, since Maddock thought of KITT as an obselete computer.
I guess I should say that it went to the highest bidders. Sorry. And when you break it down into components, it is not all that strange of an auction.

Kitt wasn't exactly "keeping fresh oil on the dipstick." I just assumed Kitt would be obsolete by this time allowing him to be sold of, his electronic parts being fairly common at this time. The movie came off to me as just considering the car to be a plain T/A with no mods. At one point doesn't michael receive a box full of regular car parts, with a stock round Firebird steering wheel sticking ou the top?
KITT project is on again!

i might of missed this in one of the other posts, but it was the body of the car that was recycled.
and they must of took all of the interior bits n pieces out, which is why we can see the dash and the overhead console i think.
then they just auctioned off all the computer componenets apart from the CPU.

Weren't the bean counters at FLAG ready to sell Kitt off in "junk yard dog" when he couldn't perform anymore? Were they talking about the car without the computer or the complete package? That would've sucked to see Kitt at one of those governement auctions!selling him off isn't exactly keeping anything confidential.
