I'm confused; a CX3 doesn't use 6 channels?

The HP6DSM is a quirky transmitter, designed specifically for either the CP Pro or the SR. I don't have any personal experience with it although I do have an LP5DSM.

Have you tried messing with the dip switches? I found this which should help:

As Nick said the HP6DSM is designed to work with the Blade SR c/p and is not much good for other helicopters. It has a lot of expo built in which cannot be altered apart from using the hi/lo switch. The knob on the left is to alter the throttle curve in idle up mode and the knob on the right is the gyro gain.

So to use the aux ch6 maybe the DX6i DSMX 6-Ch or DX8 is what i should use?
