Rockbox'd Ipod + Pioneer Ipod-Ready Reciever = NO GO!

DaveTheRave:
Let Me Start Off By Saying, ROCKBOX IS AWESOME!

Now That I Got That Out Of The Way...

I'm Having An Extremely Disappointing Experience With The Rockbox Regarding Connectivity To My Pioneer Receiver - VSX-91THX

Before Rockbox:
Connect Ipod To Ipod-Ready Reciever Using Provided Cable (http://parts.pioneerelectronics.com/part.asp?productNum=XDE7025)
On-Screen Menu With Photo And Video Functionality, Woot!

After Rockbox:
Same Setup
ERROR! No On-Screen Menu, No Photo Viewing, No Video Viewing... But Audio Works

I Really Don't Even Care About Photo And Video Viewing In Rockbox.
What I DO Care About Is The On-Screen Menu.. How I'm I Supposed To Navigate Through My Music Collection While Sitting On The Couch FAR AWAY From The Ipod?

Is There Some Way To Fix This? I'm Using The Latest Build For iPod Video 60/80GB

Damn, That Sucks.

Anyone Know Of Another OS Like Rockbox That Does Work With Accessories? (I Know This Probally Isn't The Place To Ask It... Since This Is A Rockbox Forum... But I Need Something That Can Work With Accessories!! Its The Only Reason Why I Bought An Ipod!)
Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated.

No there isn't. The only other OS which runs on iPods is iPodLinux, and they face the same issues we do. Undocumented hardware.

PS - Why are you capitalising every word ?

That Sucks

Oh, I Don't Quite Know. I Did It When I Was Younger And.. Well.. Still Doing It! lol Its Called "Camel Caps" Apparently.. [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Camel+Caps]

Question One: Are There Any Accessories (That Are Currently Supported) That Support An On-Screen Menu? I'll Go Out And Buy It If Necessary. I Need A Way To View My Music On My TV And I NEED Rockbox.. I Love My FLACs Too Much  :(

Question Two: Is It Possible To Integrate This Feature Into Rockbox? (Either By Rockbox Developers Or A Third-Party Developer AKA My Friend Next Door) I Know It Would Make A Great Addon Because This Feature Is Pretty Much On All Ipod-Ready Receivers, Including Pioneers.
