Im using a Y spit male mono to female stereo 3.5mm cable and attaching my headphones figuring that each device would be on a seperate seperate channel.  Im getting stereo from both units when there connected, is it possible to diode isolate to solve the feedback?

So you are having both units Y into 1 output which is your headphones? That wont work. As long as both are powered up, you will be getting both audio at the same time. And diodes will only prevent the audio from 1 unit from feeding back into the other unit and vice versa.

Right, both units into y and then into headphones.  Is there anyway to make it work without the feedback?

Its the exact same thing as having a ps3 and xbox 360's A/V cables Y'd into a single A?V input on your tv and powering them both up at the same time. Well it wont work with the video cables both attached so if you unplug those and let just the audio ones connected, when both units are powered on, youll hear both unit's sounds. Dealing with your question, I do think you can do it one way. Ill draw up a diagram for you.

The cable I'm using is  two seperate MONO male 3.5mm Y'd into the female 3.5mm stereo audio jack...so there is a left and a right input  to the stereo plug.  I would have thought that diode isolating each mono input would have solved the feedback issue.

Both of your units have a sterio jack. What youll need to do is get 2 sterio cords. One to plug into each unit. The other end youll cut. There will be 2 wires in each. You will splice those 2 together. On your headphones, there will be a jack. Cut it off. There will be 2 wires. Wire one wire to the one unit, wire the other wire to the other units wire. You can also use mono type cords then you wont need to splice those wires together. Hope this helps:

The gps is a stereo unit..the radar is mono.  When both units are connected there is feedback through the other unit causing the each mono input to be heard on both lft and rght channels in the headset.

these headphones you are talking about, are they made for the car? Like are they wireless and have a reciever that has RCA jacks?
