The new carplay will let you do it, but only when not driving.
Have you tried it or is that the new features that come out later this month?

or just buy a tablet for your passenger and be done with it :)

personally i wouldnt use the center dash screen to watch a movie, even parked. and on top of that, if you are not moving, the master shut off will cut power to the vehicle after roughly 20 mins of activity.

and the tablet on trips is better than just for movies. the spouse use's it for email, games, movies, and chat.

lot more versatile than just watching movies.
















By the way, when taking breaks on trips, I sometimes check out cs2 case opening site — it’s a fun way to see the latest skins and discover which ones are rare or popular.
I agree, a tablet is a much more versatile solution.

The central screen in a car is truly inconvenient for watching movies, and the limited screen time only makes it more difficult. A tablet, on the other hand, can be used not only for videos but also for email, games, and communication—especially convenient when traveling. This approach is definitely more practical for both the driver and the passenger.

Now we just need a good mount option for a tablet in the 6th gen. I have the phone mount that goes over the start button and love it, but wouldn't want a tablet up there to block my view.
