ipod touch 3.0 software and car interface

I just upgrade the software on my 2nd gen ipod touch and have run into some problems when I hook the ipod up in my car. I have a 2008 Infiniti with built in touch screen that supports specifically ipods. When using the 3.0 software once I have selected an album/playlist/podcast i can not select another song/album/artist whatever until the playlist/album/podcast is complete. This has only happened since I updated to the new software and was curious if anyone else has had this kind of issue when connecting the ipod to a cars interface.

HP, Windows Vista, Laptop

Nope, still not fixed. I had my 2nd gen 16gb ipod touch with 2.2.1 software and it worked perfectly fine with my 08 Scion XB, granted it wouldn't charge like my old 30gb ipod video would, but I'd just remember to bring it inside to charge. Well, the other day I upgraded to 3.1, and now it doesn't work at all. I plug it in, no charge and no connection at all. 😟 I rarely use my ipod other than plugging it into the car and listening, so basically my ipod is useless now 😟 Apple, please fix this fast. I've got road trips coming up and can't not have my ipod to listen to.
That and it was a waste of $5..

In my Honda Fit there is a small glimmer of success. With 3.0 the iPod would play, but you could not change playlists, artists, etc. from the stereo. With 3.1.1 I can access each of these categories, but I have to make multiple attempts and cycle through the menu a few times. Eventually when it does pull up the list of Artists (or Albums, Playlists) the selection scrolling is excrutiatingly slow. So, although there is some progress, it is still not fully usable as it was with 2.x.
