myKITT.de - My Knight Rider K.I.T.T. Replica

Today, I got my new LED scanner by Lectric Enterprises. The halogen scanner needed a lot of power, so I decided to change it against the LED version.

Today, Deutsche Welle TV aired the report about my replica of K.I.T.T.

Now, I can control K.I.T.T.'s voice from my mobile phone, using Bluetooth Remote Control for Windows Mobile and Winamp on my car-PC. The program shows track titles on the phone display, so I can select the tracks there and K.I.T.T. will play them from the car-PC. The range is approx. 10 meters.

On the occasion of the Mailingdays in Nürnberg, the GHP in association with SwissPost and primeMail held a company party on 2009-06-24 celebrating the 70s and 80s. For this party, they presented my replica of K.I.T.T. to make photos for every party guest with the car.

One of my former fellow students had to make some photos with the topic "car wash"... So he asked me to use K.I.T.T. for it... Some of the pictures will be available on this website soon...

To finalize my replica of K.I.T.T., we just installed the new frontnose by Knight Passions. This frontnose has always been my first choice, but my donor car already included a frontnose by Custom Projects, so I first kept it. But now I finally decided to exchange the frontnose. The front openings contain some metal grills, so the complete light section had to be changed.

I often get requests from people, who'd like to visit K.I.T.T. or make photos of him. Normally, I decline for time reasons. Today, I made an exception for Alexander, who studies Journalism in Hannover. His final paper is a car magazine. So K.I.T.T. will be a good addition to it.

I just created a little videoclip about "K.I.T.T. at the AMI":

» watch videoclip

The scenes were filmed on April 4th 2009 - one of the few days, when the dash electronics were turned on and K.I.T.T. was speaking. The voice comes directly from the car.

Kevin Schröder, a visitor of the AMI fair, sent an image of K.I.T.T. in High Dynamic Range.  Thanks a lot! I guess, I'll have to make some more images like that in summer, when K.I.T.T. got his new frontnose...
