You need a resistor bridge. I made one years ago, with a little help from the electrics shop.

Your typical output from a phone, ipod, etc, requires an 8 Ohm load. Been a long time, but I think the input to the aircraft intercom is about 100 Ohms.

Here’s a fixed system (assuming I have the intercom impedance correct...ask the avionics guys):
