Has anyone figured out how a teenager in the rear seat of a Cybertruck can control the Spotify UI (search, pick songs/playlist, skip to next song, etc.)? The fossils in the front seat can't be trusted to pick anything good that we can all enjoy on the road trip. We have the main display Settings > Controls > Rear Display is UNLOCKED. In our tests the user in the back seat just sees what is currently being played and has the pause/play and skip button, but that is it. I don't see how the passenger in the back can search for new music/playlists/podcasts and control what we are all listening to.

They can't, it's only last/next track, play/pause.

You can probably "Start A Jam" from your phone while it plays on your truck and if they have a phone they will be able to join.

Excellent idea. "Jam", an underutilized Spotify feature by us fossils. Surprised the backseat didn't suggest.

Would be cool if it did, it's definitely possible.
My wife's car has a "share" button to start a playlist with the people in the car via Carplay.
