I don't know how power feed for active antenna is designed in your equipment.
Sometimes equipment can be back-powered through its GPS antenna port.  This might be benign or not.
Get at least an RF DC block for one unit (fancy name for a cap stuck between two BNC ports.)

I figured, what the heck, and just used a BNC T and it’s working.
