Nope, you can't use your male/male wire, because then you won't have iPod control from the deck (i.e. you won't be able to change songs from the deck) which is the whole purpose for buying a deck with iPod control.

If you really want to use your wire, you could probably run the other end to the back of the deck and hook it up directly as if the iPod were a Zune or portable CD player.
