Audio Out and Siris Radio

[berkisho]

I have a TT910 and a Sirius Radio in a 2007 Toyota Camry.

The Camry has 1 1/8" audio input to plug in an accessory such as IPOD, Sirius Radio or TT Audio.

I like to listen to my Sirius Radio, my kids like to listen to the Wiggles on my TomTom's MP3, so I purchased a 1/8" Y Stereo adapter from Radio Shack.

I plugged the male end of the Y into the car, and the female ends received a connection from the SIrius Radio and TT Audio out.

My problem is, when the TT is powered on (regardless of weather I am using the MP3 player or not. Note: I have the TT configured for to use audio out ONLY for music, not for voice directions), I cannot hear the audio from the Sirius Radio?

Any one have thoughts or solutions?

Any input would be appreciated...

thank you in advance.

might be that the gps audio is stereo and the output of the sirius radio is mono, try exchanging the twin plug for a mono one instead of a stereo plug. Just my thought on it.

Thank you...but the output of both the TT and the Sirius are stereo

The Y-adapter is generally intended for 1 input to 2 outputs. In your case it's the other way round, you are connecting 2 inputs to 1 output. Each output generates a voltage/current and definitely one of them is overpowering the other. There is a possibiity that one of your devices will get damaged after some time if you keep on having both devices on and connected to tye Y-adapter. What you need is some sort of a sound mixer. I'm sure Radio Shack has some sort of a mini sound mixer.
