Smile Navigation Radio and Seemless IPOD Intergration!

I was reading in another forum that some in dash cd changer radios still have a din out put on the rear of the radio to control an external cd changer or dvd changer. I was wanting a picture of the rear of the navigation radio. If there is a pin output i think it would be possible to seemlessly intergrate the IPOD to the factory radio by doing the following.

First to have a din converter to alpine m-bus which can be found at

Then get a m-bus to AI-net converter which can be found at

Then use the new KCA 420i from alpine which allows you to have full control over the IPOD from Ai-net recievers. You can view this product at
http://www.alpine-usa.com/

This device from alpine lets you view and access all playlist on the IPOD which also would display song name and length of song and album. This would be awesome if it would work.

Is there something wrong with this thought process. Please let me know your thoughts.

The main concern is if the rear of the radio has this din out put on the rear of the radio. If you are able to post pictures of the rear of the radio please do so. Or any thoughts where we could find one. Service manual?
