I'm looking to buy a tiny 3.5 mm A/B switch for use in my car, but I don't think such a thing exists.

All I ever listen to in my car is either my Sirius satellite radio using the built-in FM transmitter or my vibez through a cassette adapter. (Yes, I know, not very elegant but it works.)

Because I do occassionally hit FM radio interference listening to the satellite, I'd like to have both the Sirius and the vibez plugged in to the cassette adapter at the same time through an a/b switch.

So, does this sound doable? Any alternative recommendations?

Thanks.

Tiny enough to be relatively inconspicuous and still accessible. I was hoping for something about the size of my thumb that doesn't require its own separate power supply.

I did plenty of Googling before posting and haven't found it, yet. Maybe my Google Fu just isn't strong enough, yet. frown


Ah, something: This would work, but it's $23 and a little on the big side:

Thats the first result on the Google results I linked smile

You could probably make one yourself if you know how to solder.

Yep, any DPDT micro switch would work nicely.
