Speedometer upgrade
« on: December 31, 2015, 11:01:55 pm »
Does anyone know of an electronic speedometer conversion for the factory speedo faceplate?  I have an NV3500 with electronic speedo pickup but I kinda want to keep the look of the stock gauges and I don't want to spend an arm and a leg for an all new set of gauges/gauge kit.

You aren't going to find an cheap way to swap in an electronic speedo.  you are limited to 90/91 Speedo and everyone knows about them so finding them are costly...

This takes the electronic signal and coverts it to cable.  (I sell these)

How satisfied are people with this unit?  I have seen other units out there like this one that have not so satisfactory reviews.

The Dakota, I don't know, it is new.  Based on converstations I had with them at a show theirs do not have the same issues as customers came to them to make them, but I have not used one.
