1958-62 Chevy Corvette MTX Instruments:XTX-58C-VET-X

Are you packing your 1958-62 Corvette full of late model tech, but love the look of the stock interior? Maybe you want to retain the original feeling but just want a better instrument system with a bit more accuracy and visibility? Either way, this bolt-in system is just what you need! All new from the chrome bezels to the LED backlighting, we kept all of the cool features of the OEM design and added a full-color TFT message center, LED indicators, precision stepper motor needle movements and of course EFI integration capabilities. Requires stock, cast-metal dash pods but includes chrome plated billet gauge bezels.

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. A casual glance may dismiss these as original equipment, but once you hit the switch and the LED backlighting comes on in your favorite 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 raise the bar for aftermarket instrumentation. The high-definition TFT message centers can be fully configured to display just about any piece of information needed. 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.

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.

CALIBRATION

PUSH BUTTON

Dakota Digital instruments are programmed and operated by the push of a button. Simply mount the included pushbuttons supplied with your gauges in a convenient and easily accessible location. These buttons are used to calibrate your speedometer, set the cylinder count and the fuel level gauge. Once properly configured these same buttons are used to access the wealth of information located in the Digital Message centres

CALLIBRATION

All calibration settings are handled through the included pushbutton switch 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.

MOBILE APP

RTX 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 RTX system, and enjoy quick and convenient menu navigation and real time gauge readouts for diagnostic use or a secondary display.
