Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-68D-CHG-X is a direct-fit instrument system designed for 1968-70 Dodge Charger B-Body models with the Rallye dash, bringing modern electronics together with an authentic original appearance. The billet aluminum housing accommodates the original switches and front bezel (not supplied) for a true bolt-in upgrade, and the analog clock is cleverly housed inside the tachometer face. Gauge needles appear white when off, allowing for full customization of lighting color once powered on.
As part of Dakota Digital's RTX series, this system focuses on retaining a stock appearance without sacrificing modern features. OEM design elements are reflected in the layout, face styling and indicators, so at a casual glance the gauges appear original -- until the LED backlighting is switched on in a custom color scheme.
CNC-machined housings are filled with 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 information. A central control box simplifies installation and setup. The system is designed to use an OEM or reproduction style bezel, which is not included.
