Need help finding wire route

im trying to tap into the cd changer wiring for my 1997 f150 so that i can play my ipod through the stereo. However, i dont know the route the wiring takes from the cd changer to the head unit and what would be the easiest place to tap in to it. im trying to replicate what this guy did http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t=24015

for 70.00 ... it would save the headaches and experiments

its pointless to spend $70 on something i can make for free... plus the stereo in the car isnt even worth that much

i figured it out, and officially wired my ipod into the stereo for free. if you would like to know how, let me know. if their is enough interest, i will make a guide, but as of this point the truck is 14 yrs old and if anyone wants the ipod they have most likely bought something already
