The Dashboard

Dashboard + TV-Frame
  • 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 also prefer one big monitor over 2 small monitors.
  • Made of fiberglass
  • Manufacturer: Knight Passions, The Netherlands
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.
















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


TFT display
  • Unlike 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.
  • Details: 10.4", 800 x 600 pixels, SVGA
  • Manufacturer: Sharp
