Yes and no; it requires a custom harness, but it may not fit right....
The new unit does more magic via the CAN bus and not via traditional lines; things like system display dimming is done via CAN.

No it won't at this time (more)
This unit requires CANbus based signals for most everything that our B5's do with individual wires. Such as power-on, illumination, and most importantly vehicle speed (GALA). Someone will have to develop a smart CAN interface box.
Oh, and did I mention there are no US maps that will work with it? And the going price on the street (just the headunit) is almost twice what a complete CD Nav+ system will run you.
