iPod touch Apple CarPlay

Why can't we use the iPod touch with carplay? I have a VW and it connect with the media player but it only shows the song playing, can't check the playlist nor browse the tracks. Would love to use the iPod along with my iPhone 7 in my Car, ipod connected playing music connected by cable and use my iPhone with Bluetooth, why is Apple leaving iPod aside?

iPod touch, iOS 10.2
