Description
The Dakota Digital HDX-69C-CVL-S is a direct-fit HDX instrument system designed for the 1969 Chevy Chevelle, Malibu and El Camino, installing directly into the original or reproduction instrument housing for this one-year-only dash design. Featuring silver face gauge styling, the system combines three analog needles and a full-color TFT message center in each large opening, with an analog clock positioned between the two displays.
Each HDX system allows independent illumination colors for gauge readings, needles, and message centers, with calibration and personal settings manipulated 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. A central control box simplifies installation by sourcing signals from the vehicle harness and connecting supplied solid-state sending units cleanly to their respective terminals.
