Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | The Insight can work with at least some of the older Trimble lightbars.
We have a customer who traded in his PF Advantage that had been the interface to his lightbar (21A, I think). This lightbar will interface with the Insight also (required a cable change due to the 15 pin vs 9 pin GPS connection). In somewhat the same fashion as with the Advantage, he is able to pick his swath options, set the A and B point etc. through an additional screen on the Insight.
As Weedsqueezer points out, these might be available on the secondary market. Weedsqueezer - I think that some of the other lightbars that you mention could work also. I believe they behave in the "Dumb mode" which means they behave pretty much like the older models.
I personally use the Insight on my sprayer and have the second port of my GPS feed a Raven lightbar. The two systems are independent (just share a common GPS source) but the information that they each provide is complimentary. On the sprayer (no autopilot here), I use the Raven lightbar to "get on the right row" and comfirm the correct location by observing the Insight in the coverage map view.
I got into this combination of equipment since I had the Raven Lightbar already when I got into the Insight. I think that I would be unhappy giving up my Raven Lightbar and using some different type of display for the guidance.
