Depends!! as some External HDD's need External power!! if you get a self USB Powerd HDD then yes it should work no problem!
But for external HDD that need to be powers you mite have to get a Cig lighter plug or something for it!

My kenwood works with my external drive.
There are certain things that are limited. self power drives must be micro ones, so 2.5" and bigger drives are unreliable, 1.75" drives are fine. Talkaudio had a fair amount of threads on it. The folder structure makes a massive difference to how long it takes to load, mine used to take over 5 mins to load with folders 2+3 deep, now with it organised into no subfolders it loads in under 2 mins, good for 300 albums
