VHX Instrument Cluster, 69-72 Blazer

1967-72 GMs and Blazers have a simple dashboard which offers plenty of space for personalization. Making use of a seven-hole instrument bezel, this system that boasts six analog instruments, along with a third LCD message center (PU) or analog clock (PA) above the column. Stock turn signals have been upgraded with LED technology, and the whole operation utilizes a stock or reproduction bezel, available separately.
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 our facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!
Additional Information
OBD II / CAN Interface, the BIM-01-2 OBD-II (J1850/CAN) Interface allows you to plug directly into the engine diagnostic port, extracting engine and transmission data from the vehicle's computer (ECM). The BIM-01-2 will collect and output the following information to Dakota Digital Instrument Systems *:
Available on most vehicles (see below):***
Speedometer
Tachometer
Engine Temperature
Check Engine Indicator
Vehicle specific:****
Intake Air Temperature
Transmission Temperature
Ambient Air Temperature
Gear Position
Oil Pressure
Boost Pressure
Due to the various factory and modified ECM's, additional data including (Intake Temp, Transmission Temp, Ambient Air Temp, Oil Pressure, and Gear Position) may be available, but will vary from application to application. Dakota Digital cannot guarantee the presence or accuracy of the Coolant Temp, Intake Temp, Transmission Temp, Ambient Air Temp, Oil Pressure, Boost or Gear Position displays since this is a function of the ECM and matching OEM functional sensors.
*The BIM-01-2 is designed to decode the information provided by the ECM through OBD-II and supply this information to the RTX, HDX, VHX and VFD3 systems with a black plastic control module. For any BIM-compatible control boxes which contain the 3.5mm headphone jack BIM input, add part number 394193 adaptor harness. Earlier instrument systems with an aluminum control module are not capable of BIM connectivity
**The BIM-01-2 is designed for J1850 and CAN OBD protocols only. Compatible with OBDII protocols SAE J1850 VPW, SAE J1850 PWM and ISO 15765 CAN 500k 11 bit identifiers that follow the SAE J1979 PID protocol.
If you are concerned about compatibility with your vehicle please contact our sales or tech department.
****GM Connect & Cruise packages do not transmit the gear position data, preventing the BIM-01-2 from acquiring this information.
