Personally, I think they need to have a mix of modern and Old-skool with the dashes.
Modern: Incorporate all the modern safety features; such as air-bags in steering wheel and the passenger side of the dash.
Old-skool: The voice-modulator without question, similar to the Season 3-4 voice bars. Keep the 2 TV screens, but make them LCD screens, DVD-CD player, Internet, etc.
this is not the best example of what I mean, but you could get an idea of what I might mean with this dash I did
Let me know what you think.

for the new KITT... NBC or W... i would love to see the whole control panel use an animated touch screen interface, a'la iphone. readouts and buttons could change as needed. as a matter of fact, it would be GREAT to see a little product placement with apple. my fanboy gauge would be pegged...

I like that idea as well touchscreen is the new thing now especially because I have an iPhone and I am in love with it. Definetly touch screen adaptation with some unique features it still had before such as the 2-Screen monitors, maybe Windows and Microsoft can provide a cool hard drive and a special system within the dash.

Yo Modo!
I like the concept but I aggree with the gentlemen above, the touchscreen thing is cool. However, the traditional layout should be kept.

The touchscreen is interesting, but then that would mean K.I.T.T.'s dashboard would look more like a Star Trek: The Next Generation computer console, as in being completely flat. I think the dashboard should maybe only have certain touchscreen sections, but overall be a little more 3-dimensional.
Whatever they do, I hope NBC Universal doesn't go the same route with the dashboard that they did with Viper. Rather than having a "hidden" dash that only pops up in a "battle mode" (or something like that), I'd rather just see a permanent high-tech dash.

One good thing they did with Knight Rider 2000 was the full-windshield heads-up display. I thought that was pretty cool. I'd like to have KITT keep at least one real monitor in the dash, but then also have a lot of virtual windshield data as well. And I'd like to see the 3-column voice modulator as a heads-up display as well.
