Slow reacting iPod while using with car radio

Question

In December 2008 I bought a new car (SEAT Ibiza) with an addon. The radio was able to control my iPod by connecting to the multi socket. At that time my iPod was running firmware version 2.x.x and everything work perfectly.
But after I upgraded to firmware version 3.x.x the radio has big problems controlling the iPod. Everything runs really slow and I cannot browse songs and almost everything else. The only thing that still works (although with a lack) is starting a playlist. Playing music also works. So if I disconnect the iPod and setup it up for playing what I want and then reconnect it - it will play without problems.
Han anyone seen any behaviour like this and have you a solution as how I might get the link working again?

Hi Sparky67,
Thank you for your reply, I feared something like this. I have just had my car serviced and asked if there was an update for my radio. Unfortuanately there was not any. So I must consider downgrading.
If I remember correctly the genious function was not a part of the 2.x.x firmware. Do you know if I remember correctly?
