Using IPOD through CD Changer wires?

This message pertains to a US 2002 996 C2 with CDR-220 + CD Changer.

First, I am aware of the various ways to hook up an IPOD with the Becker cables (most notable Oriental Express' excellent write up). I was wondering whether any of you have attempted the following solution?

As many of you probably know, the CD changer is not made by Becker, and the connector to it resembles an Alpine AI-NET connector. I stumbled upon the following web site that seems to offer an interesting solution that would allow me to just plug the IPOD in.

and

see also the other possibilities further down the page.

Even if I can't control the IPOD through the head unit, as long as I can get power and sound through this cable (and the parallel RCA jacks), I'd be happy. I figure a wireless remote control would suffice to flip through songs (I intend to leave the ipod in the trunk, less messing around in the passenger compartment).

Any experiences greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
