CD Changer Disables Fader?

I bought a CM2396 head unit and installed it in my '89 190 so that I had cd changer controls. I think the head unit is from a '97 C-Class. I have no cd changer, but I want to connect my Ipod through the cd changer port... I chose the new monstercable ICRUZE.. This unit allows the headunit to control the ipod, similar to the factory BMW set-up. Only problem is, when the icruze is connected, the fader control is disabled. It is disabled on all functions (tape, am/fm) whether the ipod is connected or not.

Monster cable tech support has informed me that this is the design of the headunit... If i were to connect a factory cd changer, I would have no fader control.. I find this hard to believe. Can anyone verify if this is indeed true?

Thanks
Duane
