RTX Instrument Cluster, 69-72 Blazer

Stock, but not! With a quick glance, heck even a longing stare, you’d think these are original equipment, but when the key turns all bets are off. This is as close to stock as you can get while enjoying color-changing LED backlighting, dual TFT message centers and of course late-model drivetrain compatibility. The analog clock in the center position seals the deal; RTX is what you’ve been waiting for! Requires stock or reproduction seven-hole bezel for installation, available separately.

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.

Additional Informantion

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.

***Ford Performance Coyote crate engine packages provide a limited amount of data available through the OBD port. Because of this, the BIM-01-2 is not recommended

****GM Connect & Cruise packages do not transmit the gear position data, preventing the BIM-01-2 from acquiring this information.
