Yes and No.
Yes: Technically it is possible but you will need a modicum of electronics knowledge on where to 'tap in' to the audio circuit, how to take a dc isolated audio signal at the correct level etc etc.
No: I would not advise it because it could need holes drilled in the case. The circuitry is sensitive to static electricity and you could 'kill' it if you do not take anti-static precautions (The human body can hold a static charge in excess of 50,000 volts - thats enough to zap the device.)
Not to say anything about nullyfying the warrantee and guarantee of the device.
Nor to mention that it is illegal to wear headphones whilst driving! |

Yes, BUT DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, it will invalidate the warrantee as well.
