1955- 56 Chevy Car GRFX Series Instruments:GRFX-55C

The start of the “Tri-Five” era, this is where the love of cars began for many enthusiasts worldwide. Now you can have the new GRFX series of gauges for the '55 or '56 Chevy Car. An optional GLC Clock is also available, complete with a chromed machined aluminum bezel.

The Grafix Series allows the user to customize nearly every aspect of the instrument system. A variety of graphic themes can be selected, each element within can be further personalized with unique display colors and warning modes. Furthermore, each gauge location can be configured with an Analog, Digital, or Bar-graph style of readout. Each display can show readings singly, grouped in pairs for twice the visible data, or completely reconfigured to show a different readout entirely!

New to the automotive aftermarket is the integration of a reverse backup video display, offering you visibility, safety and peace of mind while backing. Using the largest onboard display within the Grafix system, the video footage is displayed right within the instrument cluster! Dakota Digital offers a range of backup cameras, available separately, with full-length wire harness and universal mounting for simplified installation. Click Here to See More.

Onboard GPS technology provides automatic speedometer calibration, no matter the tire size or gearing! A wired VSS source is used to provide an always-present and real-time speedometer input signal, utilizing the GPS information as a known speed reference, providing the user with no-touch calibration for the ultimate convenience!

Built-in Bluetooth technology allows wireless access to the Dakota Digital App, available for download on your smartphone or tablet. The app can be used for simple configuration, calibration, system customization or even vehicle troubleshooting with real-time gauge and sensor data. USB access port provides field updates, allowing for future enhancements, new factory-released graphic theme imports and a variety of features yet to come.

Integrated G-force meter provides a graphical display of the real-time gravity impact. Whether carving the corners, launching or braking with authority, this display will show you effects of your driving prowess.

Like all Dakota Digital systems, an external control module is utilized, allowing the installer to better plan and control vehicle wiring, creating a tidy finished installation and reducing the amount of wiring routed to the gauge cluster itself. A complete sensor package enclosed, including a Water Temperature probe with a full-length harness and a variety of adaptor bushings. A solid-state Oil Pressure Transducer for paramount accuracy and a Speedometer Pulse Generator are included as well, each with respective full-length harnesses.

Completely Engineered and Produced in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, all Dakota Digital instrument systems carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

LIGHTING TECHNOLOGY

COLOURS Over 30 user-selectable color options allow you to independently change the needle color, sweep color and digital TFT display color.
BRIGHTNESS Both daytime and nighttime brightness can be easily controlled through the RTX setup menu, allowing you to choose your preferred lighting intensity level, toggled by the activation of the headlight switch. If on-the-fly rotary type control is desired, the DIM-1 is a common accessory to add this functionality.
THEMES With 12 factory preset color themes, you can quickly create a beautiful looking system. Or, for the ultimate in customization, choose all of the color zones yourself.
TECHNOLOGY Full LED backlighting provides a strikingly visual gauge package, with sharp contrast for ease of viewing both night and day. Full RBG backlighting allows you to create the specific color you want, with a unique daytime and nighttime theme if desired. Whether your goal is an OE look or something truly bold, the RTX Series lets you make that choice.

MOBILE APP

GRFX instrument systems can also be completely configured through the available mobile app, suitable to Android and Apple devices. Using your existing tablet or smart phone, download the free app, sync your device to the GRFX system, and enjoy quick and convenient menu navigation and real time gauge readouts for diagnostic use or a secondary display.

 

CALIBRATION

All calibration settings are handled through onboard capacitive touch switches or the remote Bluetooth app. While many calibration settings exist, the speedometer and fuel level are completed in most cases (unless GPS-50-2 is used, negating the need to calibrate the speedometer) through a few taps of the pushbuttons and a short test drive of the vehicle.
