Dakota Digital 1969 Chevy Camaro VHX Instruments - VHX-69C-CAM
Arguably the pinnacle of GM Muscle Cars, the 1969 Camaro is the perfect vehicle for modification and bringing its features to today's standards. These VHX systems fit directly into the stock or reproduction Camaro gauge carrier (not included) and include new clear lenses. The stock instrument lenses/indicators will no longer be used.
*Uses factory bezel (bezel/gauge carrier shown in any pic is NOT included, shown for illustrative purposes only). Reproduction bezel is available for purchase separately in our store, look for part# ICM-69C-CAM.
Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which you don’t normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems. Completely engineered and manufactured at Dakota Digital's facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!

Calibration
Pushbutton - 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 Centers.
