I have a Dakota Digital dash in my car. I sorta done it the red neck way and bought a used speedometer head. I took the faceplate off to make it smaller so it can be hidden under the dash somewhere. It uses the original speedometer cable and sensor set-up. I also set the mileage to the current mileage if the original speedometer. This allow you to keep all factory wiring so everything still works. I think I got the speed pulse signal for the dakota gauges from the cruise control connector.

You can go with a "pass-thru" sender unit as shown here, but it only sends an 8k pulse, so be sure that's what your gauge setup needs. If not, you can still use it with the SGI-5 adapter box. I have this setup in my hybrid, it requires a 2k pulse for the GN ECM and a 4k pulse for the speedo head. Also allows for easy tire size changes.
