Is there a way to get an Android to play on an iPod-compatible car stereo via USB?? Or in other words a way to make an Android masquerade as an iPod when plugged in??

So...I've got a new 32GB Galaxy 3 (and I can still expand with a microSD card), and I was able to keep my unlimited data plan through Verizon.

What I'm looking to do is get rid of my Sirius subscription and sell my ipod, since the Galaxy will combine the functions of the two through streaming music and hard storage.

Right now, I have this stereo in my car (http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-DEH-33HD-Receiver-Built-In-Control/dp/B004CLYOGE), and when you plug in an ipod via USB you can control it through the unit...searching by artist, playlist, song, etc.

When I attach the Galaxy it will charge, but the stereo is unable to read any data from it. Google didn't help, and Pioneer really doesn't have an app for it. Is there a way to get my Galaxy to detect as an ipod to my stereo?

Yeah, yeah, I know I can use the 3.5 headphone jack to connect it, but the audiophile in me isn't pleased with the degradation in quality - a USB connection sounds worlds better.

Thanks in advance for the guidance.
