Thank you for purchasing a VHX system from DAKOTA DIGITAL.  VHX is a loose 

acronym for Vehicle Hybrid Instrument Systems.  Representing the latest electronic dashboard 
technology for the street rodder, car, and truck enthusiast alike, the VHX system combines 
modern digital electronics with a traditional look to give the driver up-to-date and accurate 
information on the operation of his or her vehicle.  Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly 
visible LCD message centers are a few features that make the VHX lineup stand out from other 
aftermarket instrumentation.  The VHX system boasts excellent daytime visibility and while under 
computer control, fully backlit and dimmable for nighttime driving.  Monitoring solid state sensors 
with microprocessor technology and driving precision stepper motors, the VHX dashboard gives 
the driver unparalleled accuracy.  User-customizable display feedback and additional features not 
typically found on any other brand or type of instrumentation are standard in the VHX system.  
Digital accuracy and solid state reliability will give you, the driver, quality service for miles down 
the road that includes a limited lifetime warranty on a product engineered and manufactured in 
the USA!
