It should work as long as the headunit will handle the voltage ranges if you get a heavier knock.
But brilliant idea though. Anything that can transfer a voltage signal into noise.

I wonder what max voltage from a typical sr20 knock sensor is. I bet you could regulate it using a 12v zener diode if it does in fact go higher than 12v.
