Get to Know the MHX System for Your '69 Camaro

If you’re looking to breathe some fresh life into your classic '69 Camaro, the MHX system is a game changer. It’s not just about looks; it’s about bringing modern tech right into your vintage ride. Installation? Super straightforward. Just attach it to the back of your stock instrument cluster and center console housing, and you’re good to go.

What sets the MHX Series apart? For starters, those fully lit needles and backlit faces are a huge upgrade from the old-school setups. You’ll also appreciate the crisp LCD message centers that are easy to read, even in bright sunlight.
