It has 4 inputs for cameras.
I have a front camera I can turn on all the time, a rear facing camera I can put on constant.
I'm working on putting a 360* camera on so I can get all views out on the road. Also locating a video logger system for it.
can only control through phone.
I put an old Samsung s5 in center console and leave there to run my apps.

With the Z06 the Touring Display is the only one that you can get all of the gauges on. Everything else is missing Coolant Temp. Since they are digital Vs analog they are also easier to read.
Use the Tach in the HUD it is easier to see and has very visible flashing shift warning/shift lights. I like the bar graph setting best as it spreads the tach over a larger length making it easier to see at a quick glance. Anything down on the IP takes to long to look, eyes to focus, look up and eyes to focus again. At over 100 mph with other cars on the track running slower/faster you need to pay attention to what they are doing/signaling versus having your eyes looking in the wrong place.

I now have the display on my dash as shown in my previous post to this thread, item #2 above. Is there any easy way to toggle over to the tire pressure monitors to see what the tire pressures actually are in each of the 4 corners, or do you have to be satisfied with "OK" as show in the display I mentioned?
As a second question, which may have nothing to do with this thread, since changing my dash display as above (which I really like!), I notice that every time I start my car, the radio comes on. I rarely listen to the radio (it's most often turned off), so this is a bit annoying. Did I bump some setting or switch (whatever!) to cause this problem, or is it normal or standard with this display? Thanks for the help!

Thanks to the originator of this question. I got my car out today for the drive of spring and somehow my display was stuck in sport no matter what drive mode I was in. I have no idea how it got that way and I was pissed I couldn't get it back. Thank to this question and the great step by step from Bill I went right out to the garage and got it fixed in about 30 seconds. Got to love the forum. Thanks guys
