Description
The Dakota Digital HDX-68D-CHG-S is a direct-fit HDX instrument system designed for the 1968-70 Dodge Charger with rallye dash (also fitting '68-70 Super Bee, Coronet R/T, and 1970 GTX). This Silver Face version features a billet aluminum housing that accommodates the original switches and front bezel for a true bolt-in upgrade, using an OEM or reproduction style bezel.
Each HDX system allows independent selection of illumination colors for gauge readings, needles, and message centers. Calibration and personal settings are controlled through built-in capacitive-touch buttons or the available Bluetooth app for Apple and Android devices. Needle hubs are black nickel plated spun-aluminum to match the buttons.
The system features dead-faced indicators including turn signals, high beam, check engine, cruise control, and parking brake, plus two user-definable indicators, along with a red, settable warning light for each gauge. A central control box simplifies installation using vehicle-harness sourced signals and supplied solid state sending units.
