GPS antenna

I have a sirius tuner with a car satellite antenna. I also have a Holux GPSLim 236 GPS receiver. Can I use some sort of splitter cable to hook both the GPS and Sirius receivers to the Sirius antenna?

No.
The receivers send out two very different signals.

If your worried about two antennas on the out side of your car, try placing them on the inside of the rear hatch glass. Or if your car has fiberglass body panels , the signal for the satellite radio will pass through it for sure. Im not sure about the gps. My sirius sat. ant. has been behind the fiberglass nose of my car for 4 years with no problems whatsoever.

GPS will, also.
Mine sits on my dash under the windshield (or windscreen for you UK folk). No concerns at all w/ GPS reception whatsoever.
