(1 out of 5) by bob4q on Sep 25, 2009 (Southern California)I thought that this was needed for my add-on Pioneer HD radio. The Crutchfield instructions said to only hook up my truck antenna to the HD Radio and not the head unit. I should have paid attention. I didn't and bought this. I had to take it out to get full HD reception. Save yourself some time.

(5 out of 5) by Jason Severson on Jul 8, 2009 (Redondo, Ca, USA) What can be said... a very good product for splitting your antenna input between two receivers in my case I purchased a digital receiver for my head unit, I still wanted the original analog signal going to my head unit but, needed antenna signal for my digital decoder without installing a second antenna.
Works perfect...
(5 out of 5) by Tim Mendeola on Dec 21, 2008 (San Diego, CA USA)This product was exactly what I needed, and couldn't find anywhere locally, for my Pioneer AVIC-F90BT to run the HD Radio unit and still have use of MSN Direct. There is plenty of length to connect to the components and hide them in empty spaces behind the dash of my Frontier. It looks, feels and operates like a quality product...plus it didn't cost hardly anything ;)

There's no two-ways about it...
(5 out of 5) by Paul Mark Provencher on Oct 30, 2008 (Morgantown, WV USA)Well actually there is... Reading the installation guide for my HD radio component I saw they recommended disconnecting the antenna from my conventional AM/FM radio and connecting it to the new HD Digital Radio component. When I read the reviews of the HD Radio component I saw that everyone was complaining that they couldn't use their old AM/FM radio anymore because it was not connected to an antenna.
Hmmmm... The instructions were a little bogus - all the writer cared about was getting the new device connected and I guess figured that with the new fangled HD Digital Radio component attached, the "old" AM/FM would no longer be used. Think again.
I realized there must be a splitter out there somewhere so I went on a pilgrimage of audio stores (Radio Shack "we don't do car audio"; Best Buy: "There's no such thing."; Jim-Bob's DUBS AND TUNES: "Huh?". What was I thinking? I had already found it here, knew it would be at my house in less than a few days; why in the world did I spend all that gas money trying to find it?
If you're adding an HD Digital Radio component to an expandable system, do yourself a favor and get this. That way you have the use of your legacy AM/FM tuner and your new HD Digital Radio - and you won't need to add another whip antenna to your WHIP...
