Thats fine the remote unit was off ebay about £30 used an old ash tray bottom cut it short and welded a plate across the bottom with a clearance hole for the ipod. screwed it down the fitted the ash tray as normal . power is via a 5v regulated supply you can either use a 7805 regulator only 3 wires dead easy or cut up a usb to car adaptor.
