Much simpler and cheaper way than that, radio transmitter.
Cost about a fiver off the bay inc delivery

I'm guessing martin might want a little higher quality than an iTrip.
I would say Harmon Kardon Drive + Play but they don't appear on CAD at the moment.

These any help

Possibly if the head unit has an aux button, then you might have an input for another component (ipod), then add a wire?
