* Utilizing the gear position indicator will require the use of a Dakota Digital GSS-2000 (sold separately) sending unit.
* Dakota Digital instruments systems also include a Demonstration Mode which will cycle the instrument readouts while the vehicle is standing still. This is especially popular while the vehicle is on display at a show, event or simply displaying the instrument system.
* Metric conversions will cycle between MPH or KPH in the digital message center with the press of a button. Full metric analog instrument systems (KPH & Celsius) are not currently available.

Q: I have a 1975 Bronco. I want to upgrade the guage. My question is, Does the speedometer require the use of the factory speedo cable from the output shaft on the transfer case or elsewhere? I want to eliminate the speedo cable.
Answered by ☆ sales - May 26, 2022
A: The Dakota uses a vehicle speed sensor, and send a signal to the gauge. No cable is used, but you will use a stock speedometer gear on their VSS sending unit.

A: You may have to get adapters for the sending units to the 4.6 motor, but you should be able to get it all to work. Other than stock, this is the best way to go!
