I am just about to purchase a nav system and am pretty settled on this one.

1. It is for my diesel truck which has air brakes.
I am getting mixed responses about the gray out and parking brake issue.
What recommendations or experiences have you had with this set-up?

2. Can the AV system handle 2 cameras or only feed?

Thanks for your kind assistance

1. The best recommendation is to bypass the Z1 and you won't have to worry about the parking brake or the air brakes. Everything will work all the time. It's rather inexpensive or free depending on when it was made.

2. And it will take one camera input and one AV input, you can make those 2 separate cameras. But the backup camera comes on when you put it in reverse... the other one is on when you switch to that input. And if you do, no other audio will play.... just fyi.

You can also use a video switcher to feed the videocamera signal from several different cameras into the backup camera input. The Freightliner Sportchassis does this.
