A Car Antenna Splitter?

After installing the aftermarket DVD headunit, I'm enjoying it, but I missed the stock radio. Changing stations via the steering wheel buttons is nice. But, I'll need a car antenna splitter (sort of a Y-cable). Does anyone know where I can get one (if it exists?) Thanks in advance

I'm wondering the same thing. Does anyone know of a car antenna splitter?

I wonder if your reception wouldn't be as good if you split the signal.

I think splitting would be fine, right now my stock headunit does not have any FM signals, so a little signal is better than nothing.

You have an FM amp after the rear window antenna, so I would expect that the aftermarket HU gets NO reception if the OE HU is off, since the FM amp would also be off.

You might also consider a PAC steering wheel control adapter:

Thanks for the link.. the Y-adapter is a rare find. Although the price is steep for what I get, I'll take a look

Since I use the SNHOND3 adapter, I won't be listening to anything if the OE Headunit is off . The only problem I have is with the aforementioned radio antenna.

The link above charges 24 bucks with shipping...

Found two places that has the similar part, and cost ~$13 with shipping:
