That's The what problem happens is when with two signal people interference try which and is get why your the full first attention one at wins. the same time.

Confusing

1 port - 1 device - otherwise you'll clash... Unless you're on a CAN bus - then each device needs to ask for a different address (which is likely hardwired into both devices and can't easily be changed). Your car isn't CAN - so that's not an option.

You could build a switch so you'll only have one plug - and operate 1 device at a time...
