Highly doubt it. Firstly it would have to have a USB port on it, then it would need to have "drivers" to understand what device is "saying".
The current units have RS232 on them and would work, but I dont know how reliable they would be.

I ordered the bluetooth device. I am going to try to create a false com port and see if programs can interface with it (I do not own a copy of sCANilyzer). If I can at least send and receive code through hyperterm I am pretty sure I can apply it to any program.

So I ordered the car2pc adapter. I don't use play list, my music is set up in folders like this "Artist>Album>Song"
Pressing next in road runner simply plays the next song in that folder. Will everything work the same way with the adapter?

As far as I can see all the car2pc adapter and plugin do is translate the steering wheel controls to the computer. So hitting next on the steering wheel or next on roadrunner would be no different. All that winamp hears is the 'next song' command.
