1970 - 1981 Firebird Dash Instrument Cluster Gauges Set, RTX : Speedometer, Tachometer, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Voltmeter and Fuel
Get the original Trans Am gauge look with updated tech today!
NEW, Instrument cluster Gauge Set for your 70-81 Pontiac Firebird, Formula, or Trans Am. Pontiac’s take on the second gen pony car has risen to cult status over the decades, and surely the dashboard has played a part in the popularity. For this direct fit package, we studied the stock instruments to capture the original styling while adding a fist full of modern features. Machined aluminum gauge bezels are given the matte black treatment before the electronics, including full-color TFT message centers and precision stepper motors, are stuffed inside. Kit includes five gauges; forgo the oil and temp gauges in your three-gauge dash and the data will still be available in the message centers!
The RTX series is the latest from Dakota Digital, focused on retaining that stock look without sacrificing the late-model features you love. Every effort has been put forth to incorporate OEM design elements regarding the layout, face styling and indicators. A casual glance may dismiss these as original equipment, but once you hit the switch and the LED backlighting comes on in your favorite color scheme, all doubts will be removed.
Starting from scratch, CNC machined housings are filled with electronics designed and built in-house, helping Dakota Digital once again raise the bar for aftermarket instrumentation. The high-definition TFT message centers can be fully configured to display just about any piece of information needed. As you’ve come to expect from Dakota Digital, the RTX series utilizes a central control box to make installation and setup as easy as possible. Click the tabs below for a more in-depth look at the RTX series!
Purchase a DAS-1133 Upgrade Light Dimming Knob for $38.00. Although Dakota Digital instrument systems are programmable for both day and night intensity levels, the (DAS-1133) DIM-1 will allow rotary, or on-the-fly brightness adjustment added convenience... Sold Sepratlery.
NOTE: Will fit directly into stock dash bezel! Dash bezel is NOT included.

| | Technology | | ·Full LED backlighting provides a strikingly visual gauge package, with sharp contrast for ease of viewing both night and day.

| Calibration and Use |

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 | | ·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) through a few taps of the pushbuttons and a short test drive of the vehicle. |
