iPod connection

Just wondering what the story is with the iPod connection. If I connect my (getting old) 60 GB iPod via the genuine iPod cable, it doesn't play - does nothing at all. If I connect though a headphone cable the sound comes out fine but I get no display on the screen other than Aux connected or something like that. I was expecting the full iPod menu or at the very least a listing of songs playing and about to be played. Preference would be to be able to navigate through the iPod menus.

If I play a cd, the song titles and album is displayed. My phone info including all contacts and photos displays no worries. Seems strange that the iPod menus don't seem to display or am I doing something wrong? Or do I need to buy the Y-cable? Is there no alternative to this overpriced piece of wire?
