The king of the muscle cars offers six round gauge openings, and this instrument system will keep the purists happy as well as the pro-touring set! Two TFT displays are hiding in plain sight, displaying the essentials with the ability to add more readings for the serious driver. Green, blue and red LEDs are positioned to illuminate the stock turn signals, high beam and brake indicators. The RTX-70C-CVL was designed as a bolt-in upgrade to a stock or reproduction gauge carrier (available separately) and bezel.
The RTX series is the latest from Dakota Digital, focused on retaining that stock look without sacrificing the late-model features you love. Every effort has been put forth to incorporate OEM design elements regarding the layout, face styling and indicators. A casual glance may dismiss these as original equipment, but once you hit the switch and the LED backlighting comes on in your favorite color scheme, all doubts will be removed.
Starting from scratch, CNC machined housings are filled with electronics designed and built in-house, helping Dakota Digital once again raise the bar for aftermarket instrumentation. The high-definition TFT message centers can be fully configured to display just about any piece of information needed. As you’ve come to expect from Dakota Digital, the RTX series utilizes a central control box to make installation and setup as easy as possible.
* Center console trim bezel (factory gauge carrier) not included, shown for visual/presentation purposes. System uses OEM or reproduction style bezel (factory gauge carrier). See mounting instructions for additional information.

BIM Expansion Modules
Dakota Digital is proud to introduce the BIM Expansion modules for Dakota Digital VFD, VHX, HDX and RTX instrument systems. The introduction of the Dakota Digital BIM modules allow you to add up to an additional 16 gauges, that's right we said SIXTEEN specialty gauges to your vehicle without the need to cut extra holes in the dash or installing pillar and pod mounts to your columns or under the dash.
Please note that the BIM modules are only compatible with current VFD, VHX, HDX and RTX control boxes which have a black plastic housing. Older control boxes with metal housings are not compatible with the BIM modules.
