The Dakota Digital engineering department created this RTX system as a direct-fit upgrade that makes use of the stock front bezel to add late-model features with an OEM look. A sneaky LED bar graph-type tachometer lives above the wide speedometer sweep, which is flanked by twin full-color TFT message centers. Bezel not included.
TheRTXseries 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 LEDbacklightingcomes on in your favorite color scheme, all doubts will be removed.
Starting from scratch,CNCmachined housings are filled with electronics designed and built in-house, helping Dakota Digital once again raisethe bar for aftermarket instrumentation. The high-definition TFT message centers can be fully configured to display just about any piece of information needed. As youve come to expect from Dakota Digital, theRTXseries utilizes a central control box to make installation and setup as easy as possible.

Lighting Technology:
Colors: 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 package with sharp contrast for ease of viewing both night and day. Full RGB 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.
Included Sensors: Water temperature 1/8 inch NPT, ground isolated sensor with a 10 foot harness.
Oil Pressure: 1/8 inch NPT solid state sensor with 10 foot harness.
Cable Driven Speed Senor / generator: Replaces your original cable with a 10 foot harness. Sensor requires approximately 5 inch clearance extending between the cable drive output and any obstruction. Part# 130011 (available separately) allows for the relocation of the pulse generator when additional clearance is required.
Bushings: Each kit comes with 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch NPT bushings along with bushing for 12mm and 16mm x 1.5 threads.
Calibration and Use:
Push button control:
Dakota Digital instrument systems are programmed and operated by the push of a button. A two-sided rocker switch is included with each package; mount this switch in an easily accessible location when in the driving position. The rocker switch provide quick and consistent access to all functions, either in driving mode or while in the setup menu. Button-press feedback is available through the TFT Message Center, or through the included buzzer. Once configured, this same switch is used to access the wealth of information located in the digital message centers.
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 .
Calibration: 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.
