Introduction 

 

Thank you for purchasing a GRAFIX system from DAKOTA DIGITAL.  The GRAFIX series represents 
the latest in aftermarket electronic dashboard technology for car and truck enthusiasts.  The GRAFIX 
system combines modern digital electronics with user configuration flexibility not found in any other 
aftermarket Instrument Cluster.  This combined with the accurate system information and ease of 
operation expected from Dakota Digital make the GRAFIX lineup stand out from other aftermarket 
instrumentation.  The GRAFIX system boasts excellent daytime visibility with its daylight readable 
TFT displays, which can be automatically controlled via on panel ambient light detection, or manually 
controlled to the driver’s preference – for both daytime and night time driving conditions.  The 
included standard definition camera input and configuration capability, add another dimension to the 
GRAFIX series not found in other aftermarket systems. 

 

Through the monitoring 

of Dakota Digital’s supplied solid-state sensors, the GRAFIX Instrument 

Cluster gives the driver unparalleled accuracy and real time feedback.  The user defined, 
customizable display readings and features, which are not typically found on aftermarket 
instrumentation 

– are now standard on the GRAFIX system.  This digital accuracy and solid-state 

reliability will give you quality service for miles down the road, and also includes a limited lifetime 
warranty on a product engineered and manufactured in the USA!
