I just bought a 6th gen iPod to replace my old 5th generation. Is there a workaround in order to gain control of the click wheel like the 5th generation? I tried the old "off when plugging in" it didn't work; it used to on my 5th. Thanks

Cut the blue wire inside the hideaway box for the ipod adaptor

I did that one but then the HU becomes totally useless. No display, no control. My CD-IB100 becomes an expensive AUX cable. btw thanks "whtcrxghst" for the replies; it's like you're the only person that replies to me.

At least it still charges, little better than an aux! I assume you could put a switch on the blue wire so you can manually engage and disengage control from the screen, but I have never bothered
