No Touch Calibration

Onboard GPS technology provides automatic speedometer calibration, no matter the tire size or gearing! A wired VSS source is used to provide an always-present and real-time speedometer input signal, utilizing the GPS information as a known speed reference, providing the user with no-touch calibration for the ultimate convenience!

Built in Bluetooth

Built-in Bluetooth technology allows wireless access to the Dakota Digital App, available for download on your smartphone or tablet. The app can be used for simple configuration, calibration, system customization or even vehicle troubleshooting with real-time gauge and sensor data. USB access port provides field updates, allowing for future enhancements, new factory-released graphic theme imports and a variety of features yet to come.

G-Force Meter

Integrated G-force meter provides a graphical display of the real-time gravity impact. Whether carving the corners, launching or braking with authority, this display will show you effects of your driving prowess.

Reverse Video Display

Like all Dakota Digital systems, an external control module is utilized, allowing the installer to better plan and control vehicle wiring, creating a tidy finished installation and reducing the amount of wiring routed to the gauge cluster itself. A complete sensor package enclosed, including a Water Temperature probe with a full-length harness and a variety of adaptor bushings. A solid-state Oil Pressure Transducer for paramount accuracy and a Speedometer Pulse Generator are included as well, each with respective full-length harnesses.

Completely Engineered and Produced in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, all Dakota Digital instrument systems carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Lighting Technology

Colors

Over 30 user-selectable color options allow you to independently change the needle color, sweep color and digital alphanumeric display color.

Internal Photo Sensor

• Automatically adjusts gauge brightness based on ambient light.
• Manual control can be accomplished on-the-fly with the optional DIM-1 dimming knob.
• Auto High Contrast mode for high sunlight situations to insure the best visibility at all times.
• Auto Night Mode adjusts brightness for low light or night driving.
• Manual control when wired into headlight circuit dims gauges whenever the headlights are on. (optional)

  Themes

• With 4 factory preset gauge themes Standard, Performance, Modern and Era and 12 colors color schemes, you can quickly create a beautiful looking system. Or, for the ultimate in customization, choose all of the color zones yourself.

  Technology

• Full RBG backlighting allows you to create the specific color you want, with a unique daytime and nighttime theme if desired.

Included Sensors

Water Temperature: 1/8' NPT, ground isolated sensor with a 10 ft harness.
Oil Pressure:1/8' NPT solid state sensor with a 10 ft harness.
Cable Driven Speed Sensor/ Generator:Replaces GM style 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. (Tremec and Ford style adaptors available on request.)
Bushings:Each kit comes with 1/8' to 1/4', 3/8' and 1/2' NPT bushings along with bushings for 12mm and 16mm x 1.5 threads.
Control Box Dimensions5.5' x 3.5'x 1'

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

GRFX 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 GRFX 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.

Optional Add-ons

DIM-1 - Light Dimming Knob: Although Dakota Digital instrument systems are programmable for both day and night intensity levels, the DIM-1 will allow rotary, or on-the-fly brightness adjustment added convenience.

STA-1000 - OBD II Speedometer/ Tachometer Interface: The STA-1000 plugs directly into the OBDII diagnostic connector, providing a user-adjustable traditional Speedometer, Tachometer and Check-Engine output for your choice of aftermarket instruments.

SGI-100BT - Universal Speedometer and Tachometer Interface:The functionality of three devices in one 4? x 2? x 1? case! The SGI-100BT can adjust/split/recalibrate an electronic speed signal, calibrate a tach signal, and aid in the creation and adjustment of a gas tach signal for diesel swap applications!

BIM-01-2 - ODB II/ Can Interface Module: The BIM-01-2 OBD-II (J1850/CAN) Interface connects directly to the ECM diagnostic port to extract engine and transmission data and supply it to the VFD/ VHX/ HDX/ RTX instrument, making installation a breeze.

BIM-01-2-HLLY - Holley EFI Interface Module: The BIM-01-2-HLLY is designed to read the engine information from the Holley Terminator (including X and X Max), HP, Sniper (except Sniper 2), or Dominator EFI kits. The BIM-01-2-HLLY module is a direct plug in using the supplied 2 or 4 pin harness for simple connection to the Holley EFI system.

PAC-2800BT- Electronic Fan Controller 70 Amp with Bluetooth Control: The PAC-2800BT was designed for the ultimate in flexibility and to be a simple add-on in any application using an electric fan. Included is a 70amp relay, enough for even the most power hungry of cooling fans. Fully programmable, the PAC-2800BT will work with your existing water temp gauge, operating from the temperature sending unit already installed. A dedicated sending unit can be installed for applications without a water temp gauge.

GSS-3000 - Universal Gear Position Sensor: All Instrument packages contain a gear shift indicator display allowing 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 a simple and straightforward installation.

GPS-50-2 - GPS Speed/ Compass Sender/ BIM: Highly advanced electronic and software design allow the GPS-50-2 to work unlike anything else, with accelerometers and predictive software to compensate for times when GPS inherently struggles: overpasses, mountains, tunnels, heavy tree cover, large buildings, passing large vehicles, etc. Unique electronic architecture provides for negligible current usage when off, yet lightning fast start-up and signal acquisition. Updating the speed information 10 times per second provides tremendous accuracy, while the integrated omni-directional antenna provides for a wide range of installation flexibility.
