Dakota Digital Retrotech RTX-86C-MC Gauges for 1986-1988 Chevy G Body with SS Round Gauges
Covering both ends of the 1978-87 Chevrolet G body production run, these direct fit systems combine the look of the early (RTX-78C-MC) or late(RTX-86C-MC) instrument clusters with full-color LED backlighting and TFT message center displays. Use your stock, round-gauge style cluster for installation in your Monte Carlo, Malibu or El Camino! Does not fit sweep-style clusters. Bezels and housing not supplied.
Available with your choice of black or silver alloy gauge-face styling, each RTX system allows the user to select independent illumination colors for the gauge readings and needles, as well as the message centers. Calibration and personal settings are manipulated with the 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. All RTX instrument systems feature dead-faced indicators (turn signals, high beam, check engine, cruise control, parking brake, plus two user-definable), and a red, settable warning light for each gauge. With our central control box, installation is greatly simplified with vehicle-harness sourced signals and supplied, solid state sending units connecting cleanly to their respective terminal.

**Will not fit rectangular sweep-style speedometer cluster.**
The RTX series is the latest from Dakota Digital, focused on retaining that stock look without sacrificing the late-model features you love. Every effort has been put forth to incorporate OEM design elements regarding the layout, face styling and indicators in your choice of 10 built in color themes. A casual glance may dismiss these as original equipment, but once you hit the switch and the LED backlighting comes on in your selecterd color scheme, all doubts will be removed. Starting from scratch, CNC machined housings are filled with electronics designed and built in-house, helping Dakota Digital once again raises the bar for aftermarket instrumentation. The high-definition TFT message centers can be fully configured to display just about any piece of information needed, or just leave the vintage-looking tumbler odometer on the screen for a totally stock appearance. As you’ve come to expect from Dakota Digital, the RTX series utilizes a central control box to make installation and setup as easy as possible.

Although Dakota Digital instrument systems are programmable for both day and night intensity levels, the DIM-1 will allow rotary, or on-the-fly brightness adjustment added convenience.
Dakota Digital is proud to introduce the BIM Expansion modules for Dakota Digital VFD, VHX and HDX instrument systems. The introduction of the Dakota Digital BIM modules allow you to add up to an additional 16 gauges, that's right we said SIXTEEN specialty gauges to your vehicle without the need to cut extra holes in the dash or installing pillar and pod mounts to your columns or under the dash.
