Ok so I’m a Lil slow. I have a 1975 caprice. Doing an LS2/4L80e Swap. Already purchased my HDX. What else do I need to get everything working together?
@@DakotaDigitalTV Ok so in addition to the supplied sending units supplied with the HDX, the BIM-01-02, GSS-3000, and SEN-06-01 should have all of my gauges on my HDX working correctly?
@@HeavyChevy1975 The SEN-06-1 is only used if you do not have a fuel level sensor in the tank, so this may not need to be utilized. The GSS-3000 would be used if you'd like to display the gear shift information within the new instrument system. Then, the BIM-01-2 will be used to communicate directly with the new LS computer.

Quick question I ordered this for my 86 Chevy c10 it’s LS swap and I don’t not have the choice of getting oil pressure, my question is can I hook the oil pressure separate with the sensors it comes with?
yes. there are several ways of hooking up the included oil pressure sensor plug. all outlined nicely in pictures & text in the mounting instructions (i have an '85 c10 with LS swap)
I have a 5.3 and 4l60 with stock gm computer and obd will this operate the gear selection on my new HDX Gauges? Or do I have to purchase the optional GSS module??
What kit do I need for my 1990 c1500 with a 5.3/4l60e swap? It has OBD2 that I put in it with the swap. Does the "vhx" gauges come with all that you showed here? And do y'all offer military discount lol
Either the VHX-88C-PU or HDX-88C-PU will fit the bill for your truck; the BIM-01-2 is a separate add-on for both kits. We do not offer a military discount, but several of our dealers do!
you probably dont care at all but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Terrell Isaias I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Also looking to add a Dakota digital cluster to my 56 resto-mod. Engine will be an l35 v6 (s-10). I see the BIM module being used with LS and LT. Hate to assume, but it will work well with my L35/4L60?
I am putting an LS Engine and trans from a 2005 Yukon in my 1966 El Camino. I want a Dakota Digital Dash setup. What do I need to specify for a complete Install?

What data will the bim-01-2 display when connected to a p01 411 gm ecu. If there is more data available with different operating system or vehicle connections I can change that on the ecu.
Hello there Shawn, This really just depends upon the data being received and transmitted by the ECU used. It's less determined by the ECU, more by the program.
@@chancecolwell3823 Hello Chance, I would suggest contacting Dakota Digital to review the details of your application. sales@dakotadigital.com is the best starting point.
Hello will this work with a Coyote Swap from a donor Mustang? Do u offer Coyote Specific gauges? I have purchased a set of the VHx series for my 67 Mustang. Will it also read the speedometer ? Thank you
Thanks Pepe, The BIM-01-2 is a good choice for a Coyote swap. If you plug in a scan tool with real time readings and this displays the vehicle speed, then we can expect the BIM-01-2 will also display this information. The VHX series which you have already purchased for your Mustang should work without any trouble.
If I am using the BIM module do I still need to run 2 coolant temp sensors or just the 1 factory coolant temp sensor? I'm just about to start putting my gauges in and wang to make sure.
Vehicle speed will be available, provided the ECU is monitoring it. In order for the BIM-01-2 to read VSS info, you'll need to ensure the VSS from the trans' speed sensor is wired into the ECU properly.
So if I buy the BIM box and my trucks getting tuned , they have to plug into the obd 2 port, does all the gauges stop working? Or what is an alternate to that?
Hello Ulises, Yes, during any scan tool use, just unplug the BIM-01-2. If you'd rather not do that, a 'Y' adaptor could be used within the OBD II cable.
@@MOY5462 A standard OBD II Y adaptor can be obtained from various sources, but there are a number of them available on Amazon - search: "obd ii y cable"
I need some help! After installing this unit on my truck I get an GEAR X in LCD1 when I pull the headlight switch. It was working normally before I installed this.. but now I have to turn the lights off to make sure I have switched into the right gear. It’s working great in all other areas btw!
Sure, take a look at the BIM-01-2-HLLY interface on our site! www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=1105/category_id=-1/mode=prod/prd1105.htm
How would this work with an older vehicle, say a 1960 Cadillac Coupe de Ville, with an LS swap, with the ECM, and with the digital guage package? Would it work the same as on a vehicle which originally came with OBDI or OBDII systems?
I'm doing a LS swap on my 94 Chevy Impala and I ripped out all the old wiring completely if I buy this kid my gauges will still work without any additional wiring from the old LT1 wiring
Hello Kike, Yes, you could certainly use our BIM-01-2 in this scenario. Regarding the speedometer, you could utilize our GPS-50-2, or use the included speed sensor which attaches to the TH400 mechanical cable outlet.
Can you make a video ? It would really answer a lot of questions and you would probably sell more units because people can see how easy it is to install.
Unfortunately no, as OEM sender outputs and the required sender inputs to the instruments are different. Many senders look the same but provide very different signals; mixing them up can cause a myriad of issues.
Hey there Jason, With a SBC such as this, the BIM-01-2 won't be used. You'll just install the included sensor for Oil Pressure, Water Temp and potentially Speedometer.

Thank you for the message,
As long as the computer is an OBD II variety, the BIM-01-2 will work out perfectly.
Will this work with an OBD2 splitter, so the BIM module does not need to be disconnected when doing diagnostics?
Jake G There shouldn’t be any issues when disconnecting to run diagnostics but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with a splitter

Dose it work off of The engine computer or do I have to have a transmission hooked up to the engine computer for the speedometer to work
Thanks Chance,
For the BIM-01-2 to see the speed signal, the VSS would need to be connected to the computer.

Thanks for the message Paul,
When using a BIM-01-2, this will eliminate the need for a second (gauge) water temp sensor.
does this unit also deliver vehicle speed through the ecu or do I still need the trans speed adapter on my 4l60e
Vehicle speed will be available, provided the ECU is monitoring it. In order for the BIM-01-2 to read VSS info, you'll need to ensure the VSS from the trans' speed sensor is wired into the ECU properly.
DakotaDigitalTV how does one do that thx
So is the BIM sold separately from the RTX for a 64 Chevy C10 or is it included?
All BIM expansion units are sold separately.

Yes, pretty much! The BIM unit and instrument system don't know what vehicle they're in as long as the required data is available.
Will this work on a Throttlebody engine or is it only for LS
This unit is compatible with OBD-II J1850 protocol as well as SAE CAN.
I'm doing a LS swap on my 94 Chevy Impala and I ripped out all the old wiring completely if I buy this kid my gauges will still work without any additional wiring from the old LT1 wiring
This BIM-01-2 can read data from the LS ECM and provide it to a Dakota Digital instrument system, but will not communicate with stock instrumentation.
I have a c10 with a ls and a th400 can i wire the speedo to the gps antenna and the bim 01-2 to the rest of the gauges and not have them interfere?
Hello Kike,
Yes, you could certainly use our BIM-01-2 in this scenario. Regarding the speedometer, you could utilize our GPS-50-2, or use the included speed sensor which attaches to the TH400 mechanical cable outlet.

How does this monitor fuel level?
Hello Jarrett,
Our system will connect directly to the OEM, or aftermarket fuel level sensor.
Does this work for fitech ls?
Sorry, it does not. This is exclusive to OBD II applications.
Couldn't you just splice the 5v signal wire out of all the sending units instead of doubling up on sensors
Unfortunately no, as OEM sender outputs and the required sender inputs to the instruments are different. Many senders look the same but provide very different signals; mixing them up can cause a myriad of issues.
