In short the only way around I currently have with my iPhone is to use an aux cable and manually choose the songs on the ipod and if I wish to charge the phone use the USB charger cable. Frustrating.
I tried my iPhone 5 with my 2008 with 6FL option (Y cable). I used the 30pin adapter from Apple.
1. it showed the tracks and played them just fine
2. it charged my iPhone 5
3. it did not appear to provide the stronger cell phone signal that I'm used to [I'm going to check that out this weekend]
