I assume that your iPod connector works, so all you have to do is to remove the plastic cover from the cable. After removing the cover, it should fit snugly into the iPod dock. Glue the plug onto the dock and glue the dock onto the remote box.

First, remove the plastic/rubber cover of the charger head. Then solder the red and black wires of the USB cable onto the head [see diagram]. Then glue the head onto the iPod dock and the dock onto the box. Make sure eveything is aligned before letting it cool.

After gluing everything, finish it off with the wire wall hook. Then you're done.
