Dakota Digital 1994-2004 Ford Mustang VHX Instruments - VHX-94F-MUS
First appearing in 1994, the SN95 Mustang dash was deemed acceptable to carry on all the way to 2004*. With their growing popularity, no doubt spurred on by LS and Coyote conversions, we just couldn’t ignore thelese cars any longer! Use your stock instrument housing and bezel for installation, and enjoy up-to-date, modern instrumentation that is compatible with nearly any drivetrain - stock or otherwise! Auxiliary readings (think: boost, trans temp and more) can be added and displayed in the LCD message centers (BIM expansion modules are sold separately in our store).
* Model years ’96-04 using the factory drivetrain may be required to disable the PATS system prior to removing the OEM gauge cluster. Removing the OEM gauge cluster prior to disabling the PATS system may result in a no start condition. Disabling the PATS system is typically done through aftermarket ECU tuning software. If you don’t have access to ECU tuning software you will need to contact your local vehicle performance shop to perform the PATS disable for you.
*Fits factory bezel, bezel/housing shown in any pics is NOT included, shown for illustrative purposes only. Requires original front bezel.
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!

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.
