I hooked up a xm radio cradle to my victory so I can just plug in my skyfi2 radio into my bike car or house without buying a separate subscription anyway i just plug my ipod wire into it and use it on the aux. setting. I also like to listen to my ipod but I have to unplug the radio wire from and connect the ipod wire to go from ipod to xm. What i need is the wire from the bike to be split so it goes to both my ipod or xm radio so I dont have to manually plug each devise in separately then i would use the aux. setting on the bike for both but only the one that is powered up at the time would play. Victory does not sell a 1 to 2 fitting for this wire as far as I know . any suggestions?

I'm guessing that you don't mean the ipod wire but the regular 1/8 wire that plugs into any audio source. The ipod wire actually allows you to control the ipod from the radio controls and looks like an ipod plug that you use on the computer.

For your needs I think you need an Amplirider (Electric-Avenues.com) or a sophsiticated passenger to rider communication device such as Autocom or J&M.

Did you mean a splitter like this? There would be an impedance mismatch but it might work enough to be usable. Definitely make sure that both units aren't on at the same time.
