is there a gesture control to skip track?

I've seen a few places reference a thumb left or right to skip track, but I don't think it was g30 specific. Before I spend a bunch of time waving my arm around like an idiot, can anyone confirm that there is in fact a way to skip to the next or previous track using gesture control on a g30, specifically in carplay?

I haven't been able to do much other than mute/stop, and volume up/down

thanks!

Thumb right skips tracks. I can’t say how it works with CarPlay since I don’t use CarPlay.

Best to just read the manual though as it lays them all out. No, everything didn’t fit in my screenshot.

Yeah, works pretty good for me too, but they say I have perfect hands and should be a hand model like George Costanza. But, I don't want to brag.

I find the physical buttons work better. Some options…
First, the ⏪️⏩️buttons right of the presets.
Second, rock the idrive dial to the right
Third, the steering wheel scroll wheel on the right side and you can see it in your HUD.

Setup the two fingers forward gesture to skip tracks that’s what I did.

It’s like using the force to skip shit music !!
