On the i3 there's a hack that will allow video to be played via the usb port. Anything similar for the volt?

Yes, you can play MP4 videos from a USB drive on a 2017 Volt.

I can see this, I guess, if you're parked, but while driving? Even if just for the passenger, it strikes me as a rather poor idea.

Illegal in most states if you are moving. And rightly so.

I believe the video playback is locked out when the shifter in NOT in Park.

Videos only play while the Volt's gear selector is in Park, else while driving just the audio program of the MP4 will play.

Yep, can confirm mp4 works from USB stick. Unfortunately, I don't think we can "cast" our phone screen nor play youtube videos on the center display even while in park. Lunch time would be so much more easier without holding my phone and my sandwich at once.
