Interior Dash

Those won't fit, good luck modifying the entire faceplate if you do decide to use them.
I have looked at the specs, and JEBar did get me a general measurement is how I know they won't work.

I have found a suitable replacement that will take over the 2 round Elgin "gauges"
But I'm not going to share until I get the measurements I need; those are the Exact diameter of the Elgin "circle"

Simply use "Torque" app and a $11 Bluetooth OBDII adapter... you can customize the gauges however you like.

Use this; it's already programmed for cars, and it's free.

I don't think that pic was posted to suggest a direct replacement, just an overall design of the look and feel some of us would prefer over the Elgin panel.

The old Geo dash would probably be a "drop in".
I liked it, even the top mph shown was 95, IIRR. That way when someone says, "how fast?"
The reply could be, "I can max out (bury) the speedo".

I thought that at first too; that was until I found out the changed the dash from the P4 to the P5.

I measured the P4 & if you remove the
face plate the Dakota will fit. What's
not clear is weather it's a plug & play
situation. If EM offers the Dakotas
as a factory option &/or a Pep Boys
install I would seriously consider going that route.
Otherwise am certainly interested in alternatives.....

I haven't seen a radio as simple as that since that portable transistor radio I had in the early 80's. As that a vintage 7-segment LED display? Doesn't even have station preset buttons. I need to update to something that has bluetooth, so I probably won't have that model. I doubt mine will ever actually play the radio.

Overall, looks clean and functional, though. Whats' that round spot between the gages?

I would say the High Beam Indicator Light

I believe you're looking at the vents for the a/c and heat. I didn't see any speaker openings on the dash.

I agree with you. Not speakers.

Doors?

Sorry, you only get one. :-)

BiloxiGeek gave us a picture which I reproduce here.

It will be interesting to see what options are available.

Look at the picture in post #59, the word in the middle is "speakers" it's in green and points to them.
2 round spots in the dash between the windshield defroster duct and the side window ducts.
