What functions does the passenger screen do

The controls of the passenger screen are a little weird too.

Last weekend, I started a movie playing on the main screen (from USB) but then we wanted to switch this to play the video on the passenger screen.

Apparently (I was driving and couldn't see it), the list of videos in the Music app was empty on that screen, although a search by name did find it. Then it took a lot of prodding to stop the video on the center, and make it play on the passenger side. When I was testing this out in the garage, the videos were listed, so the behavior changes when moving.

Also - this screen gets hot when it's hidden from the driver. Which is a poor experience for a touch screen.

Useless, as you can’t for instance play with your favorite game without stopping the music: no sound at all, or the music of the game for all. Stupid German IT design.

It is announced that the MY2026 Macan get's the option to pair a bluetooth headset and game controller to the passenger screen. This actually makes it a lot more useful.
I Would assume it's a software thingy and hoping that those 2 features will also get available on the current models as that really enhances it's use.
Currently I was a bit disappointed, I wouldn't leave it out but this really seems like an easy software update to me compared to the additional new parking options.
