Description
The RTX-84B-REG-X RTX Instrument System brings a fully-functional, stock-looking gauge cluster to 1984-87 Buick Regal applications. A large sweeping horizontal speedometer echoes the original Buick design, while a bar-graph tachometer matches the factory layout. Hidden analog Oil Pressure and Water Temperature gauges reside on the perimeter, with a pair of programmable TFT digital message centers positioned between them and the speedometer. A digital voltmeter rounds out this 6-gauge package, blending OEM styling with modern technology.
As part of Dakota Digital's RTX series, this system retains an OEM design in layout, face styling and indicators while adding late-model features. CNC machined housings house electronics designed and built in-house, and the high-definition TFT message centers can be configured to display a wide range of information. A central control box simplifies installation and setup.
