Want to feed XM radio & Radar detector together...through my CB

[Miles]

Here is a question for you electrical wizards. Years ago J&M used to offer a Y-cord, that would allow someone to feed two separate units together into one audio out source.

 

Meaning...right now I have my XM radio feeding the audio signal OUT from it...to my CB aux. IN port, and I can listen to my XM radio via my CB radio aux controls.

 

If I wanted to disconect my XM radio from this aux. IN post, I could plug my radar detector audio OUT signal into the aux. IN of my CB, and listen for the beeps and braps of the detector via the CB aux. controls.

 

What I want to do is to listen to both...my XM radio, and my radar detector...connected in a Y-cord condition, to the IN port of the aux. of my CB.

 

Currently, I am not aware of anyone that makes a suitable Y-cord that would allow me to plug the mini 3.5 male plugs into my XM radio, and into my radar detector...while the single female 3.5 plug would allow the wire from the aux. of my CB to be plugged into it.

 

Bottom line is I would like to listen to both units, not just one. I realize that there needs to be some variable in that Y-cord, so that the two signals are not mixed...so that I can listen to the XM radio signal, and "if/when" the radar signal is sent...it overrides the XM radio signal, and sends me a beep or brap.

 

Do one of you more electrically wizard folks know if a Y-cord for this application is available ?????

a bit confused.... the Cb aux in port is a female right,? And the aux out port on both the radar detector and xm radio is also a female port? So you need two male terminated 3.5 mm patch cords and one splitter to connect everything. And mixing signals wont be a problem, as they will both be heard with the louder one being overlaid on the softer signal.

If ive got the connections mixed please explain. Radio shack should have everything.

This should do what you need.

Creole, the thing that is confusing you is...my bike is not a Venture...it is the RSTD model, so my CB unit is a JMCB2003 unit.
