Description
The Dakota Digital RTX Series for the 1958–62 Chevy Corvette is the ultimate instrumentation solution for the purist who demands modern performance. Designed as a "stealth" upgrade, the RTX series meticulously mimics the original factory styling, fonts, and layout, only revealing its high-tech nature once the ignition is turned on.
The Best of Both Eras
Authentic Aesthetics: This system utilizes your stock cast-metal dash pods and includes chrome-plated billet gauge bezels to maintain the high-end look of the C1 Corvette interior. At a casual glance, the gauges appear to be original equipment.
Modern Precision: Behind the vintage faces are precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors. This eliminates the "needle bounce" of old mechanical cables and provides dead-accurate readings for speed, RPM, oil pressure, and temperature.
Full-Color TFT Display: A high-definition, customizable message center is integrated into the cluster, capable of displaying odometer data, performance timers (0–60, 1/4 mile), and even Estimated Range/Miles to Empty.
Advanced Lighting & Customization
RGB LED Backlighting: Choose from over 30 user-selectable colors to independently light the needles, sweeps, and digital displays. You can even set different color themes for daytime and nighttime driving.
Bluetooth Integration: The system can be completely configured and calibrated via a mobile app for Apple or Android devices. You can adjust settings, run diagnostics, and view real-time gauge readouts directly on your smartphone.
EFI Ready: Designed to communicate with modern electronic fuel injection systems to pull engine data directly, simplifying your wiring and improving accuracy.
Comprehensive Gauge & Indicator Suite
The RTX cluster provides a massive amount of data while keeping the dash uncluttered:
Analog Sweeps
Digital Indicators
Speedometer (0–160 MPH)
Turn Signals & High Beam
Tachometer (0–8,000 RPM)
Check Engine & Parking Brake
Oil Pressure (0–80 psi)
Cruise Control & Gear Position*
Water Temp (100–260°F)
Red LED Warning Lights in each sweep
*Optional sensor required
Simplified Installation
Central Control Box: To keep the dash wiring tidy, all sensors and power leads run to a single control box located under the dash. A single cable then connects the box to the gauges.
Included Sensors: The kit comes complete with a solid-state oil pressure sensor, a ground-isolated water temp sensor, and a pulse generator that replaces your original speedometer cable.
