Description
The Dakota Digital HDX-90F-MUS-K is a complete HDX instrument system designed for 1990-93 Ford Mustang models, featuring a black alloy gauge-face styling that installs directly into the stock cluster and housing. This advanced system combines six analog instruments with a large, full-color TFT message center that can be programmed to the user's preference, delivering a modern, high-tech appearance while retaining a factory fit.
Each HDX system allows independent selection of illumination colors for gauge readings, needles, and message centers, with over 30 user-selectable color options. Calibration and personal settings are 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, and the system features dead-faced indicators along with a red, settable warning light for each gauge.
Installation is simplified through a central control box that sources signals from the vehicle harness, paired with included solid-state sending units that connect cleanly to their respective terminals. The system uses an OEM or reproduction style bezel, which is not included.
