Why won't my iPod classic turn on with car ignition?

Recently (in the last 6 months), my iPod classic Video (30GB) has stopped powering up when I start my car.
I leave the iPod plugged in via USB and this has been working fine, turning on and playing my tunes with the car stereo. 6 months ago this stopped happening. Instead, I have to now lean over to the glovebox and press the home button to turn it on in order for it to start playing.
I have tried a different iPod cable - same result.
The unit still charges, still powers on, still works. It turns on straight away after pressing the home button.
I changed the battery just in case. Still no luck.
I'm not sure what happened 6 months ago to cause this to change. Any ideas?
There hasn't been any firmware changes so I'm at a loss as to what has caused it, and how to fix it.
In addition, I can confirm the following:
Trying the system (current headunit, and cable) with a different iPod (iPod Nano) has no problems. The iPod was on sleep mode, and upon turning on the ignition, the headunit powered up the iPod and it began playing through USB.
So something must be up with the iPod classic then...
Thanks in advance.
