Default ipod/satnav on together ?

Hi All,
Not tried this yet but thinking of getting a "Y" adapter and linking my satnav AND my ipod into the AUX socket on the stereo.
I can here the music and then hoping that when voice directions are sent out from the satnav, it "might" override the ipod ????

Anybody already tried this ?

Thanks all.

Rowle - UK.

It will not override the iPod.
You also risk doing some damage by having the output of the sat/nav and iPod tied together.

No, mate - won't work. Two thoughts based on experience, but both have a cost:
1. get a bluetooth headset for the satnav, use the socket for the ipod (RAM mount if you've got no handy holder)
2. Get an Iphone and get the tomtom app - tunes & satnav in one, and the music mutes for instructions. Waterproof case & mount needed - I got mine from BuyBits in the UK, an Ultimate Addons case on a RAM mount. Works a treat, and I can hear the instructions clear as a bell at 90 on a motorway.

Ahh - thanks for the swift replies.
I will not be going that route then...

Might try the ipod software though.

Thanks again
Rowle.
