lol yes that's normal!
EDIT:
actually, I don't even have a civic but I can tell you right now that the 3.5mm cable that you have plugged into your car is a 1-way street (i.e. it wont accept input from the steering wheel or any other control device going into the ipod). It is ONLY for sound ONLY going from ipod --> radio.
If you want to be able to control your Ipod thru your steering wheel controls, I bet it is possible (my buddy can in his accord) but you have to buy a 3rd party something and hook it up to the back of your stock HU. He can control his ipod thru his steering wheel and it also scrolls the song name on the front of his stock HU.
