iPod to kenwood headunit help

In am looking to make a 13 pin din conector to full iPod adapter its a kenwood kdcmp228 head unit with no aux imput prebuilt into the unit
1. I want it to play to all speakers
2. I would like it to charge
3. I also would like it to be able to display the track title and stuff like that
4. Any answer that pertains to buy a new head unit, just buy a adapter, or it can't be done will be ignored. I am cheap and anything that can be done myself will be done myself and I also don't poop money

Here are some pinouts any help will be appreciated

95 toyota 2wd pickup engine ideas?

ok so i was thinking about maybe making my little toy go fast would this be a good set up
-lce 40mm exhaust
-lce 48mm intake
-std hyper turbo pistons
-lce stage 3 turbo cam
-dual spring and titanium retainer kit
-550 cc injectors
-walbro universal external fuel pump
-30-70 psi regulator
-diy ported and polished heads
-port matched plenum and runners
-bored tb with new throttle plate and new seals
-new ignition(msd probably but still planning)
-arb main, and head studs
-t3t4 garrett turbo with intercooler, bov, wastegate
-custom header and downpipe
-straight pipe or muffler(suggestion on brand and type)

do you guys think this would be a good set up

i would like to use the 22re but i might be up for a engine swap (suggestions for engine would be nice) remember this is a 2wd not a 4wd
i want to here your suggestions that is a big reason as to why im doing this thread (to get ideas)

Best answer is this $50 adaptor made by Kenwood. Or have you considered an FM transmitter?

1. I want it to play to all speakers
Looking at the pinouts:- (iPod-HeadUnit)
Pin 3 - Pin 8 (RH)
Pin 4 - Pin 12 (LH)
Pin 2 - Pin 6 (GND)

That MIGHT give you sound but I highly doubt it. You would need some way to fool the HU into thinking it had a changer attached

2. I would like it to charge
To charge its a bit of a nightmare I think. You would need to step down the voltage from pin 3 on the HU to 5VDC and from there connect it to pin 27 and whatever else is needed.

3. I also would like it to be able to display the track title and stuff like that
No chance with just wire to wire.

4. Any answer that pertains to... it can't be done will be ignored. ... anything that can be done myself will be done myself ...
Honestly dude with that kind of attitude Yotatech is the right place. But I don't think this CAN be done yourself. The time and money you would need to get it any where near right would be outrageous. It would end up cheaper and easier to buy the adaptor

Were in the process of putting a 7mgte from an 89 turbo supra in my buddies shortbed dually truck. should be pretty sweet once its done. He's on here somewhere zombiemonarch but he prefers toyotaminis.com they seem to be a little more 2wd centered.

You will definatly need a some sort of standalone computer and know how to tune it with all that stuff. You will also need to find and plumb a oil feed/drain line.

In am looking to make


What do you mean make. You mean the iPod connecter and cord?
I would advise buying one. Todays electronics are not made buy hand. Their made under a microscope.

You say it will be ignored, but you already read it, didn't you.

oh yeah im thinking about a megasquirt diy deal for the 22re i like the 7mgte idea and have considered it but every time i see a write up it doesnt ever tell if the core support has to be modified or other parts of the truck you know it just seems to be very general, thought about a 383 possibly centrifugal superchargered till i saw the price of one
oh yeah and possibly a electric oil pump to run for like a minute or two after the engine cools off to prevent oil coking (i think is how its spelled)

There are way cheaper options out there that will produce better power.

your right i did read it but but the point is i enjoy making stuff myself no matter what it is, i bet everybody laughed at the guy who said he was gonna make a device that you could talk to other people hundreds of miles away without any wires conecting the two, guaranteed you have one of these said devices (cell phone) just sayin

instead of just saying there are cheaper options maybe list some examples just saying the 22re cause i just put a new crank and stuff like that in it soooo it would be easier to work on something thats already in the truck plus i know that truck is going to run for a while not some jdm that could run for 200 miles or 200000 you never know

What your doin is like Henry Ford trying to build a real live horse

Nobody said building things is bad dude. Those adapters are practically grown from stem cells. No offense but, if your asking us how, your probably not going to have much success with that on your own.

absolutly nothing like building a real horse
i was more asking for opinions here was my solution
hu - ipod
2 - 2 for ground purposes
3-1k ohm resistor-21 for charging
6-2 audio ground
8-3 audio right
12-4 audio left
10-12
11-13 both to help recognize its a (cd changer)

those adapter cables are nothing special and probably easily made since they are mass produced so instead of telling me i cant do something because i was asking for opinions is kinda stupid now the only wire that could possibly be missing is the 1 on the hu pinout and i dont know right now where i would put it

the 1 on the pinout is the only wire (in theory) should be the only thing stopping this adapter from working
other than the 1 on the head unit that seems like it should work doesnt it and no i didnt copy this from somebody else post because there are no other posts and that is kind of why i posted this question here because nobody else has done it before not ecen tried on a forum
