1. First, remove the 10 screws holding the bezel to the dash. Remove the stock instrument cluster, making sure to retain the four original instrument cluster screws for mounting the Dakota Digital VHX system later. 2. Fasten the three included mounting tabs to the VHX system. - Page 3 4a. To optionally use the stock turn signal arrows, do not wire the turn signals to the VHX control box. Instead, use the two provided two-wire harnesses. The harnesses plug directly into connectors on the back side of your new VHX system. Connect the wires from these harnesses to your turn signal circuit and ground as shown below.

Carefully route the CAT5 cable through the dash to the control box mounting location and attach the VHX display to the dash using the four screws removed in Step One (see black arrows below). 5a. If using the stock automatic gear selector: glue the supplied clear lens over the gear selector opening in the bezel and mount the gear selector on the VHX dash using the two factory screws (white arrows in photo above).
