I finally have the interior back together in my 72 Challenger and I couldn't be happier! Fresh dash pad, new Dakota Digital RTX instrument cluster and GT Performance Tuff wheel. I still have a little more wiring to do before I'm finished. You can monitor my progress and see how I do the work by subscribing to my YouTube channel Life at Speed.

@72hemi with the Dakota dash, is there two little remote switches or something ? If so, where did you mount yours ? I'm still waiting for mine to arrive.

Sorry for the late response, I haven't checked in on here in a couple weeks. The kit comes with a single toggle switch that needs to be mounted within reach of the driver. It comes with a mounting bracket and on my dash frame there happened to be a pair of holes that happened to line up perfectly with the switch mounting bracket so I mounted it there.

Not sure why it posted the picture upside down, but I have tried to fix it and it won't let me,

Thanks for the response, I finally got my Metric version this week, haven't really "dug" into it yet. I think I'm going to put that switch in the cigarette lighter hole :thinking:

What is the switch for?

Allows you to toggle through all the functions of the digital readouts. Setup, time, dash lights, top speed, rpm, etc. etc...go to their website and you will see a list of functions. Big list with some cool readouts...

Could it be installed where the 4th hole is for rear defog/top lift on the switch pod?
Assuming that spot  is not occupied.

I think if it were me,  I would go with a steering wheel that has a built-in button or two.
Something like this

Accessible without leaning over I'm thinking. And I already have the estopp button in the cig  lighter hole.   ;)
