Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-59C-IMP-X Instrument System brings a fresh, high-tech update to the iconic 1959-60 Chevy Impala and El Camino dash cluster while retaining the OE-styled quintuple gauge layout that defines these cars. Each gauge face is paired with a large, full-color TFT digital display, giving you the classic look with modern functionality built in.
CNC machined housings are filled with in-house designed and built electronics, and the system utilizes a central control box to simplify installation and setup. The RTX series lets you select your own lighting colors and themes, so when the lights come on, the system transforms from a subtle factory-style look into a fully customized digital gauge package.
This system requires the use of stock gauge pods, which Dakota Digital does not offer. It is designed to use an OEM or reproduction style bezel, which is not included.
