I was looking into something similar when I was working on my radio. I heard too many words of caution about 6v positive ground being a bad thing for the ipod etc. I guess there is a chance power can run through the input cable and ruin the ipod. If you google you will see a bunch of write ups about it. If you still are not deterred, there was a write up on instructibles that someone did it to a home radio. Should be the same process.

If you do find a way for it to work safely, please let us know!

I found that replacing the capacitors in my radio restored its function. If you are not getting the buzz noise, you may need a new vibrator. Also check for broken connections. See my blog for the recent radio stuff I have been doing.
