It'd be great if the passenger could watch movies / tv shows from the iPhone / iPad while on a road trip. That way the driver (usually me) can listen to it and keep it somewhat in my side vision. Is that possible?

You want OEM nav. It completes the car and is a very good system with respect to usability, control, and look.
My wife and I agreed that for us the cubby just didn't look right. We sucked it up and found a loaded used model (Sport/Touring with nav)
Never looked back
As for watching video most/all OEM systems prevent this while moving unless you hack the unit. Yeah, a big FU to all us consumers in the name of litigation avoidance. Not sure if this system is easy to defeat or not. I personally see no reason for
a video to be playing while driving. If the passenger is that bored:
1. Drive harder: wake them up
2. Give them an iPad
