Zune HD --> Factory Radio

I've got an '06 MCS, factory radio (no navigation or H/K I think), and a Zune HD. Simple question: Does the iPod Adapter Interface work with/can control a Zune? Or is there some other adapter so you can control a Zune with the factory radio? I found the three or so other threads on the topic and they're all a few years old and their links and images have died. If not I suppose I can just get an aux in, but then I'd have to get at my Zune to change the music! Can anyone help?

I have to use my auxiliary jack for my Zune HD. Unfortunately I have to select music from the Zune. It can be distracting while I am driving. I am also interested if there is a way to control it through my radio.....

For those that don't know what a Zune HD looks like. It is an MP3 player like the IPOD. It is made by Microsoft and requires a monthly membership fee ($15.00) for unlimited music, podcasts and video downloads. I love it!

It was made by Microsoft. Microsoft discontinued any further development and manufacturing of Zune hardware last month.

No.

Can the Zune device operate like a USB memory stick? If you connect it on USB to a computer that doesn't have Zune software, will it appear as a removable drive with a file system and mp3 files? If the answer is yes, then you can use an adapter that has an interface for generic USB flash drives. If no, then aux input is your only option.
