Description
The 1960 Cadillac RTX Instrument System (RTX-60C-CAD-X) from Dakota Digital honors the classic OEM gauge cluster layout of this iconic Cadillac while delivering every modern feature you could want in a gauge system. The spacious interior, brightwork, and flowing lines that made the 1960 Cadillac so memorable are matched by an instrument design that retains that stock appearance without sacrificing late-model performance and functionality.
The RTX series incorporates OEM design elements in layout, face styling, and indicators, so at a casual glance the cluster appears factory original. Once powered on, full LED backlighting in your chosen color scheme reveals the advanced technology hidden within. CNC-machined housings contain electronics designed and built in-house by Dakota Digital, and a high-definition TFT message center can be configured to display a wide range of vehicle information.
Installation and setup are simplified through a central control box, along with a two-sided pushbutton rocker switch and companion mobile app for Android and Apple devices. This system is designed to use an OEM or reproduction style bezel.
