iPod not working with iHome iH5

I have a 60GB iPod. I have an iH5 iHome. It worked fine for a few months but now when I put my iPod in the dock it says "AUX" in the display area and it won't play. I can't wake up to the iPod either anymore. The iPod won't even play on the iH5 now. What should I do?

Does the iPod work normally when not connected to the iHome?

Since this is not an Apple product, have you been to their own support site?

Yes, it works normally when I am not connected to iHome at my house. I did contact Red Envelope (where I got it) and they sent me a new one. Then I contacted ihomeaudio.com and they told me that the radio was most likely defective so I mailed the iHome back to Red Envelope and they shipped me a new one. I opened it up tonight, put my iPod in and it immediately said "AUX" again and won't play. I don't know what to do. I am frustrated.

I found this article online where the same problem has happened to some other people and I also read some bad reviews on Amazon.com. I think I'm going to ship this thing back and be done with it.

I have recently got an ihome. My ipod worked fine with it at first. Now it will play while in the ihome but I can't control it and will continue to play after I turn of the ihome. I exchanged the ihome thinking that was the problem but with the same results. Any ideas???
