Yes, it looks very possible. However, I'm starting to wonder if the audio system in my Mercedes communicates on the same bus as all other car devices. I believe I read before that the audio/nav/phone system communicates on a very high speed optical network. Maybe my head unit is what interfaces to this optical network and the CAN bus. I'm not sure, but I bet I could get all the information I need for my car from here: http://www.startekinfo.com/StarTek/preview.jsp
