iOS Car Play. Where is the damn play button???

I use CarPlay with my iPhone X in my E300 2018 P1. I can't find any button to play if a song is paused. I have to either tell Siri to play or Go to the Music app - currently playing - press the play button. Is there a play button somewhere that I miss?

I did another test as my above post might have been premature.
I don’t use CarPlay so i did a test. I also have an iPhone X and i ran in to the same trouble. If you’re on another screen you can’t use the controller to control music, nor the touch pads on the steering wheel.

You have to be in the “Now Playing” menu.

I even have the touch controller above the COMAND wheel and nothing there worked. Not even the “next track” button on the COMAND touch controller.
