With the ability to control the zune through the HU....no there aren't any yet (at least none that I'm aware of, I heard kenwood was working on one a while back but not sure if they ever went into production). However you could always just connect it through the AUX port and some may allow you to connect through a USB port (kind of like a jump drive) however that depends on the firmware in the HU (most won't recognize it through USB, and those that do may only allow it to charge.

callaway,

I have a zune and a Kenwood HU. I have to use the front USB AND Aux connections to get great sound. Using just Aux doesn't provide enough oomphf and sound quality isn't as good w/o USB connection. Annoying, but everything is iPod focused.

yea that's the way most people run it, they use the AUX for the sound input to the HU, but the USB can still charge the Zune

Thanks for the input :D

I went with one that had the front aux jack and didn't look too ridiculous :P
