he wasn't able to use the Becker kit as is b/c the OEM h/u allows only for an either or choice: cd changer or aux in. Like you, he had both cd changer and wanted ipod hook up but he wanted to be able to choose between them at any time. Thus he added a switch to choose and just hooked them up thru the same input on the h/u.

Now, if you want to forgo the CDX and just run w/ ipod, you can use the Becker piece - you'll just have to (thru the h/u) turn on the Aux-in and turn off the CDX. Know that the Becker piece, unless they've changed it recently, doesn't have any charging capabilities for ipod/iphone and typically just uses the headphone jack for sound source (unless you get an ipod bottom connector that converts to 2 RCAs).

There are some aftermkt suppliers that do make all-in-one type things you are looking for. Can't recall specifically but one might be PIE. Try a search on various terms here and you should find.
