If additional indicators are desired within the new instrument system, consider repurposing any unused indicators to suit your 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 (sold separately) 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.

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 the choice.
Included Sensors:
Water Temperature - 1/8\" NPT, ground isolated sensor with a10 ftharness.
Oil Pressure - 1/8\" NPT solid state sensor with a 10 ft harness.
Cable Driven Speed Sensor / Generator - Replaces Ford and/ or GMstyle speedometer cables with a 10 ft harness. Sensor requires approximately 5\" clearance extending between the cable drive output and any obstruction. Part # 130011(sold separately) allows for relocation of the pulse generator when additional clearance is required.
Bushings - Each kit comes with 1/8\" to1/4\", 3/8\" and 1/2\" NPT bushingsalong with bushings for12mm and 16mmx 1.5 threads.
Calibration and Use
Pushbutton 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 response 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, GPS-50-2 is sold separately) through a few taps of the pushbuttons and a short test drive of the vehicle.
Which extra items that are not included with this kit does Dakota Digital recommend that you consider?Because Dakota Digital includes the required sensors for the Oil Pressure, Water Temperature and Speedometer with all its instrument systems, in manycases no additional parts will be required. However, you may wish to consider the followingoptionalitems, available for purchase separately in our store:
GSS-3000 - Universal Gear Position Sensor
All Instrument packages contain a gear shift indicator displayallowing the transmission gear position (Park, Reverse, etc.) to be shown within the message center.The GSS-3000 accommodates automatic transmissions with 2- 4 forward gears and enjoys asimple and straightforward installation.
DIM-1 - Light Dimming Knob
Although Dakota Digital instrument systems are programmable for both day and night intensity levels, theDIM-1 will allow rotary, or on-the-fly brightness adjustment added convenience.
SEN-06-1 - Fuel Level Sensor
Dakota Digital instrument systems are designed to utilize a stock or aftermarket fuel level sensor. If a universal or replacement sensor is desired, the SEN-06-1 is a great choice.
BIM-01-2 - OBD II/ Can Interface Module
TheBIM-01-2OBD-II (J1850/CAN) Interface connects directly to the ECMdiagnostic port toextractengine and transmission data and supplyit tothe instrument system,making installation a breeze.
