Knight Rider Clones the iPhone, Poorly
10:00AM Mark Wilson | Pardon us for being a bit late on this one, but apparently Knight Rider went through the trouble of crafting this strange fake iPhone, rather than just using a normal iPhone, for the series. More »

Knight Rider KITT GPS Now Available
7:30AM Sean Fallon | Just a few days after the new series premiere, RadioShack has announced that it scored exclusive rights to sell Mio’s Knight Rider GPS in the US. I already have a GPS unit, but the geek in me wants to buy this thing just to hear William Daniels tell me where the nearest McDonald’s is. The KITT GPS is available now for $US270.

Dude’s KITT-Modded Car Apparently Does 550KPH While Parked
10:20AM Jesus Diaz | Do you think the original KITT’s dashboard was so overloaded with useless indicators and LEDs so dumbstastically stupid that it made The Hoff look like a Physics Nobel Prize in leather pants? Then you still haven’t seen this. Can anybody please tell us what the hell is the number in the middle of that christmas tree dashboard means? More »

So Sad: KITT Gets Carjacked
1:15AM Mark Wilson | As if you needed proof that the new KITT was way lamer than the old KITT, the remarkable supercar of the future was jacked by a common thug during a Toronto event. It’s been a week since the occurrence that’s slowly leaked into mainstream consciousness and KITT is still being operated by a rogue agent. The occurrence is not believed to be a PR stunt (though the fact that all related videos were shot by first-time YouTube uploaders is pretty fishy). All we know is that if Hasselhoff were alive, he never would have let this happen. [via themovieblog] More »

Mio’s Knight Rider GPS Test Drive Video (Verdict: It’s KITTastic)
8:00PM Benny Goldman | I got a sneak peek at Mio’s new Knight Rider GPS, and it’s more fun and cheesy than I expected. As you can see in the video, William Daniels, the original voice of KITT, guides you as you cruise the streets, fighting crime. Flashing red LEDs are synced up to the speech, and the screen marks your location with a Pontiac Trans Am icon. My favourite part is that is has 300 names built-in when you’re done pretending that you’re Michael Knight and you want KITT to call you by your real moniker. It’ll be US$270—a bit less than we thought—when it’s out in August. [Knight Rider GPS] More »

Knight Rider GPS With KITT’s Voice!
6:55AM Sean Fallon | I already have a GPS unit but I’ll be dammed if I’m not throwing it out because the guys at Mio have come up with a Knight Rider branded GPS unit with voice prompts by the one and only Mr Feeny KITT William Daniels. Apparently, you will recognise his familiar voice as soon as you fire it up and hear “Hello Michael, where do you want to go today?” As an added touch, the display is flanked by a series of red LEDs that mimic KITTs hood-mounted lights. Further details are scarce, but we do know the Mio Knight Rider GPS will retail for US$299 when it is finally released. [Next Autos Thanks Dan!] More »
