Has anyone been able to force the Zune into it's connected mode?

Maybe by finding the proper resistor (similar to making the charge icon appear when using non-zune chargers) to add to the cable?

I was thinking yesterday (always dangerous, lol) that when the Zune is in connected mode, a registry edit (at least with the 2.5 firmware) is all it took to enable the computer to see the Zune as a harddrive.

So, that should mean, that when the Zune is in Connected mode, it might be possible for a car stereo to read it as a USB harddrive, shouldn't it? Theoretically, anyway... The protocols were all there (again, on the 2.5 firmware), but by the grace of Windows device recognition, without the registry edit, it stayed hidden...

So can we force it into Connected/sync/file access mode?
