If the button mapper apps don't do it for you, here's a some other options to consider:

1. The simplest option is to use an audio app where the entire screen is the pause/play control. Several apps have this feature, sometimes as a "driving mode." Then you really don't need to look at the phone at all, and it's arguably as easy or easier than finding a physical button.

2. Play your phone through a device that has the controls built into it, like a portable BT speaker, or, ideally, a car stereo with a BT or other remote enabled connection. (I went this route, replacing my car stereo, and I'm happy I did.)

3. If you plug your phone into your car stereo with an aux cable, you can try something like this:
