Infotainment screens inside cars are becoming bigger each year, and most people are using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay for most of their navigation and music playback needs. However, those platforms are too simple for some tasks, and if you want to get real work done on your car's huge screen, you should consider an upcoming project that aims to bring full-fledged Samsung DeX UI.

AutoPro X dongle claims to bring full-fledged Samsung DeX UI to your car's screen

A Kickstarter Project called AutoPro X aims to bring Samsung DeX UI to the car's infotainment system. You can connect your Galaxy phone to AutoPro X's small circular dongle via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and that dongle needs to be connected to the car's infotainment screen via a USB cable. After a few minutes, you can see the complete Samsung DeX UI, complete with taskbar, desktop, and resizeable app windows.

You can watch it in action in the video below.

The AutoPro X dongle costs just $140 if you back the Kickstarter project. You would be among the first in the world to get access to the upcoming dongle. The estimated delivery date is June 2024, which is not far away. Moreover, the company's engineers have worked with Samsung's engineers to make the product more reliable.

You can also switch to Android Auto using the same dongle while driving and when you want to use navigation or music streaming. The project has already crossed 1000% of its funding goal.
