Neither do the UP/DOWN buttons on the remote navigate the File browser or main menu. I'll investigate if there is PEBKAC somehow, but I don't think I've missed anything!

There are two different remote protocols (mode 2 and mode 4) I added these things to mode 2, but I suspect your remote uses mode 4.
Unfortunately none of the public specs on mode 4 seem to mention anything more than the basic playback controls, so... it might take some custom debug code to record what your remote is doing.

I should clarify. I'm using remote A1156 and the Play/Pause/Select, and skip left and skip right buttons were already working (the volume up+down buttons work to increase the volume but I suspect this may bypass the iPod).
If you could give me any pointers on how I can dump the received control codes in a debug build I will happily try and capture the commands that the iPod receives!

Two problems present for this:
1) IAP-over-USB isn't implemented. This includes both the control protocol and the audio path (which is a variation of USB audio IIRC)
2) Apple has been _extremely_ litigious over non-aple folks implemeting IAP without a license.

Yes this is correct. That makes sense, thanks for the clarification. I'll have to see if I can get the AUX port working on my radio then.

I've noticed that on the iPod Video, unlike the ipod6g, the "View I/O ports" debug menu prints IAP codes in hex format.
Are these likely to be of any use?
On my Apple iPod Universal Dock (MA045G), with an aluminum (2009) Apple remote I was able to capture:
00 06 03 0e 04 00 d1 01 Up/Volume up.
00 06 03 0e 04 00 c6 01 Down/Volume down.
00 04 02 00 10 00 00 00 Left.
00 04 02 00 08 00 00 00 Right.
00 04 02 00 01 00 00 00 Select (centre).
00 04 02 00 01 00 00 00 Play/Pause (bottom right).
Strangely, the Menu button (bottom left on aluminium, bottom center on plastic) doesn't register a code with either remote type.

Apparently the menu button does not work with the Universal Dock:
