Re: Dakota digital dash full install documented!!

Thanks for the post.

I'm waiting for a good deal to pop up to buy a DD VHX gauge set for my Camaro.

Big question is whether to go for the red or white back lights?

Re: Dakota digital dash full install documented!!

Those are very nice. Clean install too. It goes towards my idea of stock but modern. I thought this was going to be a digital...digital dash. Digital Analog is much easier on the eyes and to me easier to read as well since you don't have thousands of numbers blinking different lol. I'll have to watch the complete video later ;P ;P I just fast forward to the end.

Analogue gauges are easier/quicker to read.

Re: Dakota digital dash full install documented!!

Now do they make a modern analog style set up for the trans ams that looks almost 100 percent stock. Maybe even go up to 160mph? Then they will have my attention, and next paycheck for that matter.

Klowny,

Thank you for this video and all your others. I started the install of similar Dakota Digital dash in my 1990 IROC a few months ago and your video will help me complete the oil and water sender install and calibration.
