I Rewired Amp - CD 90 765T - What About Factory Cassette?

I noticed some people asking about wiring an aftermarket CD receiver through the factory amp. Well, I did it, it was easy and it sounds pretty good too. Just get a receptacle for the DIN 6 plug from the amp or cut off the DIN 6 plug from the amp and use those wires straight to the CD. I didn't spend the time to get the fader and balance to work right but they do work to some extent and all six speakers work. There is also a little "pop" sound when switching the receiver on/off. I wonder if that's normal? All in all, the "premium" 7145 factory radio sounds better because it works perfect with the 6-speaker setup and it has an equalizer but I'm happy with the new Blaupunkt CD receiver I got...

So, how do I rewire the factory cassette into my new setup? Right now it's unplugged. It uses a 13 pin DIN-type plug, I think.
