Default creative zen into a sony head unit

Hi

Have looked around the net with no luck as yet, so giving you a try! I have
a Creative Zen MP3 player, and a Sony CDX-F5500 CD head unit. The head unit
has BUS phono inputs, and I have plugged my zen into this using a phono to
jack lead. There is no way of selecting this input on the CD unit. I
presume this is because you need to connect something into the BUS control
socket to get an option. I am not bothered about having the details up on
the Sony screen, and wondered if there was any way to get this playing
through the head unit? Fine if it will control the MP3 player, but is there
a 'lead' that I can make or buy that will fool the CD player into thinking
there is a control unit there, and allow sound to be input through the
phonos?
Any help gratefully accepted!
Cheers
Craig
