I've though about this too and I have two mediocre ideas for you:
(1) buy one of those casettes that have a transmitter in the casette that talks to the magnetic reading head. A cable runs from the casette to the cd player and is a simple line plug - similar to headphone plug.
(2) buy another radio with a line-in socket on the face of the radio - I've seen these in the "rampage" models that checker auto parts sells and assume that higher quality (sony/clarion...) units would also have this feature as an option.
Both of these suggestions are lousy though.
I believe that the standard audio signal (headphone/CD/tape/speaker...) is just an oscillating voltage and a reference (ground) voltage - so connecting the cd changer output to the iPod sounds reasonable. I'd guess though that the CD changer output also has a lines for power supply and also one controlling playback (you know, disc 1, tranck one, FF etc).
I suppose you could try probing the cd changer cable with a multi meter... The ghetto technique would be to buy a cheap walkman at a garage sale for $2 and then strip the headphone cable - switch playback to the CD on the head unit and then try all the possible permutations of bare wire to the auxillary cable.
