I probably am the one that posted that DIY regarding these cables. It is possible to splice the lines and get the cable above to play and charge your iPod. You can read more about all this on the renntech.org 986 DIY forum.
I also sell the already modified cables as a hobby at $45 + shipping. These cables have had their pins rearranged so that no wires were severed and spliced plus I ad a little black spray paint to get rid of the ugly white plug. I include detailed installation instructions that require about 10-15 minutes of your time to complete. If you live in the SF Bay Area I can try to coordinate a meeting to assist with installation, but it really is quite easy to do 2 on the old 1-10 scale.
