You will only be using the transmitter of one unit you choose, the other ("slave") will be using the the selected XDCR (as "master") fro 2D.
You may or may not be able to mix and match the "Advanced" sonar, I have not been able to test my 998c HDSI and 859ci HD to see if the latest software update allows all technologies to be shared.
Let us know what your results are.
The 2D should share just fine though.
