CD Changer Pin Outs / Tricking the headunit ?

I have a 2001 Ford F150 Lightning with the standard 6 disc cd changer. I've stumbled upon this really neat device called a Neo MP3 Car Jukebox that essentially holds 40 gigs worth of MP3's and sends it through a "line-out" (and has a nice LCD screen with play/fwd, etc type buttons)

I'd like to make use of the factory CD Changer wires, but does anyone have the pinouts of what is what ?

Also, as I understand it, the first problem I will run into is that the factory Ford radio will say, NO CDDJ . Is there a way to trick the Ford Head Unit to actually think something is connected to it ?? If this gets figured out, we open ourselves to a multitude of awesome and flexible options...DVD players, TV/VCR hookups, portable player hook ups, etc etc etc....

Thanks!

Dean,

Here's what I wound up doing:

Someone said the stock headunit has differential inputs, and if you run non differential (typical) inputs to it, you can damage the headunit.
