X3 AUX to rear of vehicle via CD Changer cables

Looking to provide an AUX connection in the left rear of my X3 for a carpc. Currently my recently installed AUX connection in glove compartment works fine.

I am looking to be non invasive. In doing this I am looking to utilize the changer cables located by the radio, under the center console and available in the rear of the vehicle so that I do not have to remove any major trim.

Currently the vehicle has NAV, Sirius and BT.

I have removed radio and see a changer connector (not connected) in the front.

I am hoping Tom at EAS can help me with the custom connectors.

Can it be done?

Am I assuming correctly regarding all of the CD Changer cables?

Can a custom cable be made for the following?

1 - AUX to CD changer connector behind the radio?
2 - CD-Changer to CD-changer connector under center console?
3 - CD-Changer to AUX in the rear of vehicle?

Tom made me an IBUS "splitter" for the IBUS connection that goes into the Sirius device. (1st part of CarPC endeavor done - Thanks Tom!)

I am aware that the wires will not be shielded but I believe that it will not be an issue.

I have tested and working well a BT audio connection from my HTC Kaiser to Computer so I have a new choice for music in the X3.

Pete

We spoke on the phone this morning, Problem is that there isn't a female 12-pin adapter available to make this a Plug and Play connection. Your CD Changer wiring will need to be modified on your end.
