Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-68C-CAM-X RTX Instrument System is designed after the stock 1968 Camaro gauge cluster, delivering a factory-correct appearance that hides a fully modern electronic instrument package. At first glance it reads as a simple speedometer and tachometer combo, but once the key is turned, four auxiliary readings appear for oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level and volts, each displayed via LED bars that remain invisible until activated. Each gauge pod also includes a TFT message center for additional driver information at a glance.
As part of the RTX series, this system retains the stock look and layout of the original 1968 Camaro cluster while incorporating late-model features, including full LED backlighting with user-selectable color themes. CNC machined housings are filled with in-house designed and built electronics, and a central control box simplifies installation and setup.
This system is designed to fit directly into a stock or reproduction 1967-68 Camaro gauge bezel; the bezel is not included and must be sourced separately (a replacement bezel, ICM-67C-CAM, is available).
Key Features
- Styled after the 1968 Camaro instrument cluster, with graphics specific to the 1968 model year
- Analog speedometer and tachometer with digital LED bar graph gauges for oil pressure, water temperature, fuel level and voltmeter
- High-definition TFT message center in each pod, fully configurable to display a wide range of information
- Over 30 user-selectable color options to independently set needle, sweep and digital display colors, plus 12 factory preset color themes
- Full RGB LED backlighting with independent daytime and nighttime color themes
- Adjustable daytime and nighttime brightness controlled through the RTX setup menu
- Built-in indicators including turn signals, high beam, check engine, parking brake, cruise control, gear position (optional sensor required), 4x4 and wait-to-start, plus two programmable auxiliary indicators
- Each analog gauge sweep includes a red LED indicator for warning conditions (except speedometer)
- Performance meters including 0-60 MPH timer, 1/4 and 1/8 mile time and trap speed, high speed recall and high RPM recall
- Standard displays include odometer, dual trip meters, 12-hour clock and estimated range/miles to empty
- Pushbutton rocker switch control included for programming and operation, with button-press feedback via the TFT message center or included buzzer
- Configurable through a free mobile app for Android and Apple devices, enabling menu navigation and real-time gauge readouts
- Interchangeable with the 1967 styled RTX system (RTX-67C-CAM-X) if a different graphic style is preferred
