Description
The Dakota Digital HDX-68C-CAC-S is a complete bolt-in instrument system designed specifically for the 1968 Chevy Camaro with factory console gauges. This HDX system upgrades the original four-gauge console cluster with six analog readings plus twin TFT message centers, allowing the driver to view all vital information at a glance while retaining the look of the original factory housings. This is a complete package and cannot be split up.
This system features silver alloy gauge-face styling and allows independent selection of illumination colors for the gauge readings, needles, and message centers. Calibration and personal settings are managed through built-in capacitive-touch buttons or the available Bluetooth app for Apple and Android devices. A central control box simplifies installation by using vehicle-harness sourced signals along with supplied solid-state sending units that connect cleanly to their respective terminals.
Dash and console bezels are not included; the system is designed to use an OEM or reproduction-style bezel.
