Thx for your input, great help!!
My Bosch/Bose/Blaupunkt guys said can't be done! I thought yeah right!!
Problem temporarily solved :-)
I have tried with my Sony MP30 - No go
Borrowed a Blaupunkt MILANO MP34 from a friend, plugged it in and behold:
there was sound!

No steringwheel control (I'll get that adaptercable, when I get my own
HeadUnit).

Only problem now is, that I have to figure out, why it restarts every time
ignitionkey is removed, but since we are leaving for Liguria and Toscana
friday I'll stop messing around with electric installations :-)
