SUCCESS!!!!!
Okay, after some tweaking and much soldering, I was finaly able to tap into the line running from the CD player to the amp. Currently it is a very ghetto setup, but the whole project cost less than 10$ if you have a few basic tools laying around.
Now, I am nowhere near complete, but at least now I have a proof-of-concept that someone can actually do this with little to no experience in car audio.
While I do not have the time tonight, if anyone wants to know the specifics I can do a full writeup this weekend complete with part numbers, diagrams, etc.
Currently, I have the cable (which was only 6 pins thank goodness, not 13) seperated into two parts, power and signal. Basically, 4 of those wires carry audio, and the rest are just power signals. You can switch between CD player (which still works fine btw) and ipod/aux by simply unpluging a cable. In the future I plan on running all this through a single switch i can mount on my dash.
Anyway, enough for tonight. I can answer simple questions now, but if you want all the gorey details ask and I will whip something up by the end of the week.
