Yes, I've done it! (If I can, anyone can)
I have an Ipod Mini running off ship's power, wired into my flightcom 403
intercom. I had a difficult time finding the info & equipment (not all in
one place), but finally got it done. I'm not flying yet, but have operated
the system & listened to the music through my headphones.
As far as accessories, I will have to look up where/what I got later, but a
google search for IPOD accessories yields many hits. You can find chargers
as well as connections to hook into car stereo systems. Not too expensive.
I got a charger, chopped the cigarette lighter off it & wired it straight to
my main bus. I believe most intercoms have a pin labeled aux in or music in
or something like that. I put the output there & voila!

If you haven't yet, stop and think that it might just be more convenient and
better
solution afterall to just buy headsets with input plugs and let everyone
listen to the music they want, at the volume they want and to not listen to
anything
if they don't want, etc.
