The answer is No and its explained here.

On the other questions I remember you posted before but the best solution would be to use the USB memory stick and go through the 'conversion' as explained by arorat since I remember you had a Mac.

I'm sure b&m is a separate unit to the HU. One way to find out. Disconnect the HU and see if it still functions.

I know its a pain having to convert lots of files but its easy if know how to batch process them. Plus once its done you dont have to do it again. Then just pick up a large USB stick.

It'l be a lot cheaper than buying an after market head unit.

P.S. You can set itunes to import as MP3 for the future. Also as long as your music files are not protected you should be able to convert a batch to MP3 in itunes.
