Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-61C-IMP-X RTX Instrument System brings multi-function, multi-color technology to your 1961-62 Chevy Impala dashboard while preserving the stock appearance you love. New aluminum chrome bezels are supplied for the round gauges, and the original stamped trim for the speedometer is reused, keeping the factory look intact.
As part of Dakota Digital's RTX series, this system incorporates OEM design elements in layout, face styling, and indicators so it looks right at home in your dash. Once the LED backlighting illuminates in your chosen color scheme, the late-model features and performance become apparent. CNC machined housings contain electronics engineered in-house, including a high-definition TFT message center that can be configured to display a wide range of vehicle information.
Installation and setup are simplified through the use of a central control box, and the system is fully calibrated and operated via an included pushbutton switch or the optional Bluetooth mobile app.
