Hi all,
I read through all of the pages of the "XM Carputer Guide" thread... lots of great info, but didn't answer the question I have here:
In my car, I've got an OEM XM tuner module (made by Delphi). The OEM antenna which came installed on the car when I bought it (sharkfin style on the roof) has two connections coming from it (which I understand is the older style). According to the technical wiring diagram of my car, the two wires coming from the antenna are labeled "Satellite Antenna" and Satellite Tuner Antenna." Doesn't help much, but in any case, since I won't be able to use the OEM module with my CarPC I got an XM PCR. The PCR has the newer single input for the antenna. See where I'm going? I want to use the antenna that's already on top of my car, but it has two outputs, and the PCR only has one input.
So I do some searching around the net, and I found this:

and I thought I had found my solution. Unfortunately, this converter is going the opposite direction that I need it to go (i.e. this converts an antenna with a single cable into two outputs to connect to older modules, such as the one I have in my car). Unfortunately I need it to go the other way.
All that long-winded explanation for the simple question: does anyone know of a converter like the above that converts two antenna cables to one antenna input? Also, I can't imagine that this would just be as simple as just using only one of the wires coming from my OEM antenna, but check me if I'm wrong there.
Thanks!~
