Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-65F-MUS-X RTX Instrument System is designed to bolt directly into your stock or reproduction bezel for 1965 GT and Pony interiors and all 1966 Mustangs, retaining the factory design elements while adding modern electronic capability. A full-color TFT message center and a hidden LED bar-graph tachometer are built into the system, with the tachometer displayed around the outside of the speedometer sweep for a clean, OEM-style appearance.
As part of the RTX series, this system is built to preserve the stock look of the original dash while delivering late-model features. Every effort has been made to incorporate OEM design elements into the layout, face styling, and indicators, so at a casual glance the gauges appear original - until the LED backlighting is switched on in your chosen color scheme.
Each RTX system starts with CNC-machined housings filled with electronics engineered and built in-house by Dakota Digital. The high-definition TFT message center can be configured to display a wide range of information, and the system uses a central control box to simplify installation and setup. This system uses the OEM bezel, which is not included.
