Interior

This is a list of all interior-components, that I needed to build K.I.T.T. out of a 1988 Pontiac Firebird:
Interior Tan interior
My car originally used to have red interior, which looked OK, but was not really K.I.T.T.-like. So I bought a complete interior in tan - the same color used on the show. I also bought completely new carpets from stockinteriors.com

Interior PMD seats
The tan interior did not include the rare PMD seats, which were only produced from 1982-1984 as an option. I found an old set on eBay.com for a good price and the seller was very helpful with the upholstery in tan-like cloth. They look brand-new now.

Interior Dashboard
I decided to get a 3rd/4th-season-dash with only one monitor, because I think the 1st/2nd-season-dash looks too oldfashioned in my eyes. I got it from Knight Passions.

Interior Dash electronics
I got my electronics from Jupiter Electronics in Canada. I decided to buy the new version with colored LEDs, because I don´t like the white look, when the LEDs are off. The electronics contain all functions, the stock dash used to have plus a working voicebox and compass unit.

Interior Countdown Sequencer
The dash electronics do not include the countdown sequencer. I got it from Brian Thone. It is made of plastic.

Interior Dash overlays
I got the dash overlays by Eric Wang, fitting to the Jupiter Electronics. The set is made of hard plastic panels and looks and fits great!

Interior Monitor
Differently from the original K.I.T.T., my dash is equipped with a 10.4" TFT-display. A tube TV could make trouble at the German technical inspection which is necessary to drive on German streets - furthermore TFT-displays have a better picture quality. The display got a special TV frame to look like a oldfashioned TV - I got the frame from Knight Passions and the TFT panel from eBay.

Interior Steering wheel
The steering wheel is a "gullwing" that I purchased from Knight Passions. It only had to be painted.

Interior Switchpod
The unit with the buttons for Turbo Boost & Co. comes from Wassim Razzouk from Jordan. The quality could be better, but it was quite cheap. I'm not sure, if I can use it in my car, since I have to drive the car with a round steering wheel. So there is less space behind it and there must be done some body work to the item.

Interior Overhead console
I got my overhead console from Knight Passions. We added illuminated buttons to it, but they are only dummys without any functions.

Interior Lower console
My lower console is a little bit smaller than the original one, because I will keep my 1988 center console and only have room for a 12x15 cm console. I bought a housing from Conrad Electronics and added 16 illuminated pushbuttons, 2 buttons for the power windows and a control-unit for the scannerbar to it. My lower console controls all scanner functions plus lights, windows and the on-bord-PC.

Interior Car-PC
First, I wanted to put an old notebook into my trunk, but then I decided to get a Mini-ITX-PC, which is designed for use in cars.

Interior Speaking software
The software is a combination of "Dragon Naturally Speaking 8" and a software written by Chris Groeling from project-KITT.de. It reacts on spoken sentences and answers with the proper lines from K.I.T.T. in German with the original voice of K.I.T.T. (Gottfried Kramer). The lines were recorded from the TV show.
