Anyone heard anything about Alpine coming out with a module for the Microsoft Zune (Like they have for the Ipod)?

Uh, nope. Pretty sure out of the box you can't treat the Zune like a hard drive. There are hacks out there, but as it stands I don't think that would work.You mean something like this?

How many people are doing that though? The patch/hack I saw didn't look very easy to do for the average consumer (by average I mean whoever would pick a Zune over a Ipod).The patch to run the Zune as an external HD is readily available from places like zunescene.com. I'm not sure why this would not work?
Probably won't happen. I can pretty much guarantee that Apple will have contracts in place with automakers and aftermarket audio manufacturers for exclusivity for at least a couple of years. Kinda like they do with the movie studios. It's their way of giving Bill Gates the big FU and choking the Zune to death.
Nice thought. Who do you think is making the software that is driving a lot of the in car navigation, etc.? Microsoft is. Microsoft was in the car before Apple.
