test OK!
today i soldered some cable to what i think is the pre-amplifier input and it worked!!!
it was great to listen to my iPod on the factory radio.
Next:Turn this into a working system.
I consider that all the research needed is done. Next will be:
* install an stereo input jack on the car radio. I think i will use a 1/8 headphone type. Probably a with a de-coupling capacitor for each (L & R) signal.
* a circuit with some logic to feed the iPod or on-star signal to the radio. I want to be able to use the on-star eventually. After talking on the phone with my good friend SQ we have a tentative design!

Bill thanks you for the suggestion. I'm looking now for the right connector, one that provides line-out, powers the iPod and generates a signal, i.e. 5V, to detect that the iPod is docket so i can switch the head unit.
Once i have all figured out and tested, yes! i will do an step-by-step document.
Some electronic will be required to do this and i may create a kit for people not inclined to do that part.
You have interesting information on your web site; i will be reading it to get more ideas.
Thanks again,
ga
