Weeew weeew - Hello Michael !'' Mio’s endearingly-geeky Knight Rider GPS - which guides you with the authentic voice of K.I.T.T. from the original TV series - goes on sale today exclusively at Radio Shack in the US. The deal will see Radio Shack as the sole place to get the device until the end of October. Aside from the retro styling and voice-synchronized flashing lights, the Knight Rider GPS allows users to pick from more than 300 common names (i.e. not just Michael) and have K.I.T.T. welcome them personally whenever the unit is switched on.
Of course, it wouldn’t be much fun after that if it were a rubbish GPS, so Mio have slotted in a 4.3-inch touchscreen with anti-glare coating, preloaded maps of the US and Canada, and over four million Points of Interest. In the box you get the GPS itself, a car mount, in-car charger, USB cable and documentation kit.
Menus are Knight Rider themed, and the car icon has been replaced with a miniature K.I.T.T. If you get bored of William Daniels there are also generic English, French and Spanish voice-prompts. The Mio Knight Rider GPS is available from Radio Shack, with a MRSP of $269.99
