The "up" button should take you backwards one level just like the "menu" button on the iPod. If you've got the right cable, you shouldn't even be able to control the iPod when it's connected to the HU.
You're correct! Somehow I missed that tab which in hindsight seems impossible. But, I played with it a little today and it indeed does let you make album/artist/song/etc selections from the unit itself rather than simply through the iPod. I have always just done it through the actual iPod and never had any problems with it. So I would assume it is the right cable...

Thanks for increasing my iPod surfing abilities by 341%
