GPS Aerial

[Tan]

Hi

Is it possible to use one GPS aerial to supply two seperate GPS devices i.e my Origin B2 and my Sat Nav??

Regards

Woops...can someone move this to electronics for me..

Yep !

You could buy a road angel - which has a GPS output ;)

Otherwise, you can get a GPS splitter device - try www.pocketgps.co.uk (http://www.pocketgps.co.uk) for some ideas - there may be a solution on there.

On second thoughts - not very much on the market - you might need to make your own lead . . this article might help .....

is it not just as cheap to buy a generic GPS antenna. ?? Would there be any signal loss with 2 units sharing?

Are we talking about the SL here?

Thats what i have figured now anyway.

Yep its for the SL and the S-Class when i get around to trying if it works in there.

The Garmin PC-35 serial GPS can supply two serial feeds at once.

Mercedes has a GPS splitter to conect 2 GPS devices to one antenna (teleaid and navigation for example).

Whats the part number Steve?

Hmmm.. interesting I think I might have one of those devices sitting with my phone kit that's ready to install . . . or perhaps it's to split the GPS / GSM signals from a combined aerial . . . very small metal encased box. Would that be it ?

does it have a part number on it? could be your enet compensator.

[sym]

Yes it does have a part number . . . . . here it is in person :D


Not the E-Net compensator, 'cos that is much bigger and sitting in an unopened box !
