Have you ever wanted to have the capabilities of Samsung DeX in your car? Well, the AutoPro X accessory promises to make this possible. This is a device that enables the DeX interface and functions on your vehicle’s screen. Basically, like an Android Auto adapter, but specifically intended to use DeX.
For those who don’t know, Samsung DeX is a feature that offers a pseudo-desktop experience. It works by connecting a compatible Galaxy device to an external monitor or display. At first, the system worked only by cable, but then Samsung introduced Samsung DeX Wirelessly to offer more possibilities. This feature inspired the creation of similar ones, such as Motorola Ready For. Even Android 15 could natively bring something similar.
Samsung DeX experience in your vehicle will be possible thanks to AutoPro X
Returning to the AutoPro X accessory, it was launched through a Kickstarter campaign. There seems to be a lot of interest in a device of this type, so it didn’t take long for the team behind it (Mayton) to reach 100% of their funding goal.
One of the promises of AutoPro X is that you won’t need cumbersome configurations. Everything should be as easy as connecting it to your vehicle’s screen via USB. Another advantage of using this accessory is that you don’t have to rule out Android Auto since it also integrates the Google OS for cars. This will give the user great versatility in choosing what type of UI and functionalities they want to use in their vehicle.
DeX enables better multitasking
But what is the difference between Samsung DeX and Android Auto? Basically, the DeX UI is adapted to the style of a computer. This means that it is designed to make better use of keyboards and mice, although you can also use it by touching the screen. In addition, it enhances multitasking with the possibility of having multiple apps on the screen at the same time. Multitasking in DeX allows you to distribute apps in different segments of the screen or one on top of another.
Currently, we are about a week and a half away from the official launch of the AutoPro X accessory. It will be interesting to see the public’s response to this product and if it also inspires the arrival of other DeX-based accessories for cars.
