Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-64C-CVL-X is a bolt-in RTX Series instrument system engineered specifically for the 1964-65 Chevy Chevelle, Malibu, and El Camino. Featuring spun aluminum accents and multi-layer dimension, this system delivers the finishing touch for both pro-touring builds and near-stock restorations while retaining the stock, OEM-inspired look.
Twin TFT message centers are seamlessly integrated into the sixties-era design, and new LEDs utilize the factory turn signal locations. Every effort has been made to incorporate OEM design elements in the layout, face styling, and indicators, so a casual glance may mistake this system for original equipment—until the LED backlighting illuminates in your chosen color scheme.
CNC-machined housings are filled with in-house designed and built electronics, and the high-definition TFT message centers can be fully configured to display a wide range of information. A central control box simplifies installation and setup, continuing Dakota Digital's commitment to user-friendly, advanced instrumentation.
