Default Not obvious (to me) buttons for play/pause and phone

Every new vehicle has a learning curve for various functions. I'm still learning my way around the Q7 4L.
I've actually read the owner's manual and fumbled around with the MMI menus and buttons but still don't see how to.....
  1. Pause and play an MP3 that I'm playing from an SD card or streaming from bluetooth phone. I see fast-fwd and reverse buttons on the console, but no pause/play function.
  2. End a phone call. I don't see a button for this.

All of these things can be accomplished by clicking buttons and rotating the **** in MMI to navigate menus that bring-up on-screen functions. But there's got to be a better way.
EVERY prior vehicle I've owned has buttons on the dash or steering wheel to do this with one press.
Am I missing something?

Yes, it should be a button on your steering wheel on right side, IIRC. The buttons on steering wheel have multi-function depending on what you doing...so the initiate call button would also function to end the call, etc. Reference the owner manual, which I think has a dedicated book just to explain all this stuff related to MMI and phone integration/controls.

Play/Pause for streaming music can be done by pressing in on the volume roller. i.e. muting, the same function will be accomplished by pressing the volume rocker near the MMI console. Also turning the volume all the way down will also pause streaming music.

I believe you can also press the the same button for ending a call but I'm not sure as I primarily use the top left corner button from the MMI to end calls.
