I have a 1/8" mini input in my car stereo (thanks to the AuxMod)

Right now i have my Sat Radio hooked up to it, but would like to split the incoming signal and use a switch so i can have my sat radio hooked up and switch to my ipod.

Do they make a 1/8" Mini Stereo switch?

Why dont you just plug one in and unplug the other. I got an 1/8" extension that I have plugged into the mic port of my computer so I can switch out the mic and another input, cheap and effective.

well, the wiring to a 1/8" stereo connector isn't complicated at all... just take a male 1/8" plug, wire in a switch and two female jacks, and you should be set. Probably takes 5 minutes to wire/solder it but it will more than likely look rather ghetto unless you run the wires through your dash or whatever.

Did you try PartsExpress? They've got a ton of different adapters. Cables4Less as well.

I guess i could, but w/o a switch couldnt interference become a problem?
