Having a car with Android Auto is synonymous with versatility. When we connect our cell phone we have access to the GPS navigator with applications such as Google Maps and Waze (or both at the same time with a trick) as well as other lesser known applications like OsmAnd. Watching YouTube in the car is possible, but… What would you say if you could use your Galaxy with Samsung DeX on Android Auto?
The office mode integrated into the high-end Samsung Galaxy allows us to transform our mobile phone into a computer: now, an initiative puts it on the road to use the Android Auto screen as if it were our PC. This is the system that allows it and you can book now.
Your Samsung Galaxy with DeX on Android Auto: something no one thought of
This story of adapters for Android Auto is not new: there are several options that allow connect the mobile wirelessly to the car, although this one is not. But what we didn’t imagine was that someone had the idea to develop one that made Samsung DeX compatible with our vehicle’s screen.
This was the case with AutoProX, an accessory that allows you to use the car screen as if it were a computer, with Windows and all the features of the Samsung solution. What does it offer other than a PC-type interface? Well, it unblocks the use of apps that are not natively compatible with Android Auto.
The gadget allows you to go beyond the basic navigation and interface of Android Auto. For example, it allows you to open media players and watch a film or series, as well as access the catalog of streaming platforms such as Prime Video or Netflix.
Do you want to watch YouTube? This is also possible. Use Google Docs? Of course. It won’t be the most comfortable thing in the world, but it will be very useful. AutoPro
In addition, the mobile phone works like a mouse to control the cursor that we will see on the screen, and if that is not enough we can connect all types of accessories via Bluetooth such as gamepads or wireless keyboards. If you want to return to the native Android Auto interface, it is possible without disconnecting the device.
The South Korean company that designed and created it has opened a campaign on IndieGogo in which you can buy the AutoPro price of 129 dollars, not bad for what these types of adapters are used to. The production phase has started.
