Mix and matching different generation Vive Trackers with 1.0 lighthouses

[RueGorE]

My friend needs to replace some of her failing original Vive Trackers and needs to know if getting newer generation Vive Trackers can be mixed and matched while using old 1.0 lighthouses. Does anyone have any experience with this and can provide some info? Thank you.

Old 1.0 lighthouses work with everything. Base-station 2.0's encode the base-station ID onto the beam, so they don't have to synchronize with each other. Only newer gear (vive pro, index) can decode this info from the beam. OG Vive gear (HMD, black controllers 1.0) will not work with base station 2.0's. The newer gear (vive pro, index) can also work with 1.0 base stations.

Awesome, I appreciate it!
