Description
The Dakota Digital HDX-70C-CVL-S is a direct bolt-in instrument system designed for 1970-72 Chevy Chevelle SS, Monte Carlo, El Camino, and 1971 GMC Sprint SP models with an SS-style dash. This system features Silver Alloy gauge-face styling and combines six analog gauge sweeps with a pair of TFT message center displays, delivering modern functionality within a classic appearance.
Original locations for turn signal, high beam, and brake indicators are updated with LEDs for improved visibility. Each system uses a central control box with vehicle-harness sourced signals and supplied solid state sending units, simplifying installation by connecting cleanly to their respective terminals.
Users can independently select illumination colors for the gauge readings, needles, and message centers, with calibration and settings managed through built-in capacitive-touch buttons or the available Bluetooth app for Apple and Android devices. Each needle hub is black nickel plated spun-aluminum to match the buttons.
