I suspect the Y-cable is to access two ports (pins 2&3 and pins 7&8) on the
serial port.

Subject: Re: [tracker2] Dual GPS config with OT2, Nuvi and puck GPS


  

Hi - I've got this config in 3 vehicles. The Nuvi is on one port and a
puck style GPS (2 Deluo, one Garmin) is on the other. I didn't need a
'Y' cable.
