[QUOTE="mikey7182, post: 4074926, member: 580809"] The newer Pioneers with Direct USB Control should be able to do it. There is a USB control add-on for some of the Alpines too, but it's like an extra hundred bucks or so. Pioneer's site says: "...USB 2.0's speed and capability allow an elevated iPod® experience in the car, and nearly limitless expandability for portable media players and USB memory devices." "...Not every USB device is compatible. Compatible with MSC (Mass Storage Class) and USB memory device only. Not compatible with DRM (Digital Rights Management) contents and MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) connection players. Unauthorized copying of music is strictly prohibited." So if the Zune falls under that category, you should be fine. The Alpines seem a little more straightforward but you have to buy the external converter that plugs into the AI-Net cable: "...Add the KCA-620M for USB playback of all your USB devices. Connect and control your USB MP3 player right from the head unit. The song information will show on-screen." Any HU that the KCA-620M is compatible with, sounds like it will work for you. [/QUOTE]
