I ordered some of these same connectors (from ridax < THANKS) Not a week ago I put a similar project together. I used one to build a cable for my car, not only does the ipod charge (without a transformer) but it plays over my pioneer head unit without the sucky sound quality of FM transmitters. All one cable, and the only cost was the connector itself. I did not even need to buy one of those Aux. input boxes for my pioneer... I used http://stereophonik.com/gutterslide/IP-BUS_Hack/

Works flawlessly!

I did spend all day soldering those connections though!

BTW- You can remove the pins! just use a gentle touch and (preferably) rubber coated needle nose pliers. I had to resolder many of my connection because the pins themselves kept breaking.
