Description
The Dakota Digital HDX-69C-CVL-K is a direct-fit instrument system designed specifically for the 1969 Chevy Chevelle, Malibu, and El Camino, installing cleanly into your original or reproduction instrument housing. This system features a black alloy gauge-face finish with three analog needles and a full-color TFT message center in each large opening, plus an analog clock centered between the two displays.
Each HDX system allows independent control of illumination colors for gauge readings, needles, and message centers, with calibration and personal settings managed 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 control buttons. The system uses an OEM or reproduction style bezel, which is not included.
Installation is simplified through a central control box that sources signals from the vehicle harness and connects to supplied, solid-state sending units for clean, straightforward wiring.
