All that you would need is a phono to 3.5mm Jack such as

With the connects 2 box you would have the 3.5mm jack plug and put this directly in to your ipod.
This should be identical to the output on the H/K box; but you put this "inline" to control the ipod.
I have made a very unscientific image to attempt to show what I would try to achieve.
I believe that the Connects 2 box required is...

Which seems to be quite a bit cheaper that Pottsy's £59, unless I'm missing something!
Of course, it's still an added £91 for the loom if you have an EX!
I don't know if Pottsy can tell us if the Connects 2 comes with a cable to connect it to the HU if you have a non-ex? ie. Do you still need a cable or is there one in the Connects2 box?
