Description
The Dakota Digital HDX-57C-S brings a complete digital dash upgrade to the iconic 1957 Chevy car, housed in the classic triple-round gauge cluster. This HDX System combines six analog gauge readings with a bright TFT message center, allowing the driver to monitor nearly every drivetrain parameter without sacrificing the look of the original dashboard.
This system features silver gauge-face styling and uses the OEM or reproduction style bezel for installation. Reproduction chrome trim inserts are available separately and require the cast-metal housing for proper installation.
Independent illumination colors can be selected for the gauge readings, needles, and message centers, with calibration and personal settings controlled through built-in capacitive-touch buttons or the available Bluetooth app for Apple and Android devices. A central control box simplifies installation by using vehicle-harness sourced signals along with supplied solid state sending units that connect cleanly to their respective terminals.
