Yes.

To make things simple, if you have the computer in the trunk...

Run a USB extension cable to behind the headunit area.
Put a USB 2.0 Hub on the end powered by 5 volts if you have USB devices up front, like a Keyboard/Mouse reciever.
Then buy a cheap USB soundcard, SB MP3+ is ok. Plug it into the hub. Get a 1 foot RCA cable and hook the USB Soundcard up to the Headunit. The MP3+ has standard size RCA outputs.

That way you don't have to run a 1/8th extension headphone cable up front or a long RCA cable up front and you can use the USB cable for 1 million more things.

Also it won't pick up any line noise if you have any.
