DON'T USE Android Auto! Use Samsung DeX instead!

[@kyleeger]

I spend most of my time at work sitting in a truck that has android auto. This would be awesome.

[@jacquezcorrell4334]

You've just answered my most curious question: "Would Dex work on ANYTHING with Android auto using AutoPro X?" Yes.. Yes it actually would.

[@gabdilworth2481]

I was stuck waiting onsite in a hire car for hours the other day and I was wishing I could stream a movie to the large center screen in the car. This is a win!

[@sanyoo1966]

I got this a couple of weeks ago and very impressed 😊

[@philipperostin]

For truckers in parking stops that wouldbe awesome

[@techwithbenefits]

I know right! I use it when picking my son up from school and have to wait in the pick up zone!

[@rajaryan592]

This is genuinely so good.

[@deejaymalta]

Awesome, just made my purchase on amazon thanks in part to this video, there was a -$30 coupon as well, can't wait to try it out!

[@radoslawkielczewski1904]

They have wireless android auto adapters. You could also get an inexpensive tablet with a much bigger screen for entertainment / productivity which you can pair to your car's Bluetooth and phone's hotspot for data.

[@reylagarto87]

INSANEEEEE!!!! ITs a Casual Productivity machine!!! Totally makes sense in a World were your phone Its the only thing you should Need!!!

[@elsombero1747]

I personally have a Sony 2din Radio with HDMI connector and I used a regular usb c to HDMI adapter to connect my phone to it and watch movies while chilling at the highway parking lot but this solution is definitely way better than the one I used till now.

[@MediumMosley]

I would be all over this if I didn't already purchase and install a 14.5" tablet into my F150's dash.

[@suyonokurniawan824]

This is so cool. What if Samsung really remove Dex from One UI 7?

[@kristinasnowflake]

They're only removing DeX for PC with OneUI 7, any DeX outside of PC will still be around

[@priznuruvchrist4549]

And it only has to do with microsoft.

[@IasenAleksandrov]

Great, but it's unlikely anyone will ever benefit from this. Who would process documents on the car's infotainment screen, given that there are much more convenient ways to do this in your car. Who would use it for navigation and music, when there is Android Auto? Who would play games with this significant lag? The only reason to want this might be if you spend a long time in the car and want to stream movies and videos, however with this lag you might find another way to do it.

[@volcalstone]

Yep. I personally have an Android box. I'm not sure how much this cost but my box doesn't introduce lag. I could run any apps I want and free up my phone as well.

[@donniethesportsguy893]

If you stuck in the car waiting and dont have a laptop is a reasonable use case scenario. Looks dope

[@priznuruvchrist4549]

There is no lag if you have a good phone and a newer car. I know, because it runs great with my 25 gv80 coupe and s23ultra. Dont use them with outdated tech and its rock solid.

[@IasenAleksandrov]

@@priznuruvchrist4549 The lag/delay is not related to the phone's processing capabilities, but to the limitations of Samsung Dex via USB cable. It's no coincidence that Samsung is abandoning Dex via USB.

[@priznuruvchrist4549]

@@IasenAleksandrov Autopro x is connected to my car via usb and runs great with no lag. Also it seems the only thing samsung is abandoning is dex for pc app in exhange for link to windows. That move indicates microsoft involvement in order to open up dex like ability for all android phones not just samsung. Has nothing to do with type of connection.

[@Wacatys]

Important question : is there any audio delay when watching videos on netflix, KZbin, etc ??? Same question for gaming.

[@scottybones]

Literally thinking the same thing. But I've got a fold 6... And Mount it over my cars screen and can do whatever I want, usually split screen maps/Apple music and maps/KZbin (🤫)

[@techwithbenefits]

Not that I've experienced!

[@artman3]

Same question I have a wireless android auto adapter, and the one I have seem to have a bit of delay, not major, but you can tell when you skip a spoify track while you have spotify open on your phone It's like a second or so delay, I would say

[@volcalstone]

Yep there will be lag when you introduce anything wireless. Audio apps like Spotify with lag isn't so bad but video apps like Netflix will show it with lipsync issues.

[@unknownrichie]

Does the car radio need to support andriod auto or car play to be able to work??

[@JustinPennito]

This should also be able to do Motorola's Ready For, which recently went through a name change, Motorola Connect, I think, but this could even work with phones that have desktop mode enabled, like the Pixel 8 & Pixel 9 Series, etc, or even RedMagic's "console" mode.

[@Syntaxa]

This guy's voice makes me feel like I'm about to pull off a heist!

[@farrukhahmedvideo]

I have an aftermarket unit in my old car. Its an Eonon Linux based unit with wireless and wired Android auto. How will this device work with that?

[@varzangandhi3127]

As Samsung is going to end support for Dex on PCs, will this work in car?

[@JoRosieQueen68]

I think so, cars use android auto, that android for cars not Mac or Windows so...

[@garyrds]

Will this work on a 2023 Audi A6 that already has wireless BT for Android Auto? There are 2X Type-C ports in the flip up center storage console, but I don't know if they are only for charging phones or can also connect to the MMI as well. I'm not aware of a way to test it.

[@mooseratt]

£150 is a bit steep for this novelty. But it did make me realise I can buy a cheap wireless dongle for wireless android auto hehe

[@techwithbenefits]

Fun fact, this can act as an android auto wireless dongle as well!

[@kyle22686]

Will this work after the new Dex update? I was thinking about getting this but I am hesitant now if it won't work after the new update

[@KelvinLa-o6b]

You're from Australia, but all links are from US. why? Is there an option for Australian customers without shipping from US??

[@techwithbenefits]

Most of my audience is US based! For international shipping they said to use their direct website

[@suprm4n1]

Wheat since when did you have one UI 🤔

[@bluegizmo1983]

I have one of these. The lag is absolutely ATROCIOUS!! Literally seconds of input lag and audio delay. And im using an S23 Ultra with it.

[@techwithbenefits]

Really? I watched a whole KZbin video yesterday, and there wasn't a single second of delay

[@bluegizmo1983]

@techwithbenefits yup, I've even tried updating the firmware on it. It got better, but still has well over 1.5 seconds of delay. Even using it's Android Auto mode, the delay is the same, so it's something with the hardware. Direct wired USB Android Auto has no lag, and using a Motorola MA1 Wireless AA module I had no lag either.

[@miguelrianzares5522]

What's your keyboard?

[@bigice1774]

bad thing i heard lastly, One UI 7 update will lose Dex option. really bad for sumsung to decide going without Dex. now they will lose so of their clients going forward.

[@techwithbenefits]

Incorrect. Samsung is removing support for Samsung DeX on PC. Every other way to use DeX is going to remain

[@ivan40229]

​@@techwithbenefitsthat is so sad. I will have to lurke around a portable display since I will be unable to use dex on my laptop.

[@KelvinLa-o6b]

I was also curious if this will work on ALL cars with android auto /carplay or can this work without any AA or CP? Had numerous issues in getting other wirelessAA adaptors to work in my car. Tried at least three different types with no connection whatsoever.

[@volvogt21]

My kenwood head unit has screen mirroring. Dex on a car head unit sounds great but the novelty wears off super quickly.

[@techwithbenefits]

The beauty of dex is its there for when you need it. There will always be a moment where it comes in handy

[@Danosore]

I wonder if there's a solution for non-dex'd Android devices?

[@coertzepeters8901]

Hi. New to your channel. Do you know if this is going to work with one UI 7? I heard they want to replace dex with link to Windows. Also, are you on X?

[@techwithbenefits]

This form of DeX is not going anywhere! Only DeX on PC. I am on Twitter yes! I have done a video about the DeX situation. Should check it out!

[@vazeango5891]

Your cousin might be one of those animated nerdy character like Hiro Hamada from Big Hero 6

[@yeahrly]

Just buy external touch screen and have dex wit you everywhere with lower cost as this and everywhere.

[@Dakamaru]

What about carplay override?

[@lacboiatl]

Wonder if tidal will show videos too

[@AlvinDuCarri]

One question can you connect that adapter to a portable monitor

[@techwithbenefits]

Great question! I posed that to the brand, and unfortunately not!

[@lennieb7367]

Hi, are there any navigation or GPS options?

[@KelvinLa-o6b]

Use the google maps app. Lol.. it's like an extension of your phone nothing different from using it from your fone or car.

[@brettogden6104]

Clever but I can't see a real business case for this if you already have android auto or apple equivalent. I have an aftermarket screen for an Audi Q5 which is a customised fully fledged android tablet which also supports wireless android auto and apple carplay. Dex would be a novelty but can't think of a real use. And have you tried to use a touch screen while the car is moving for anything except touching very large icons as your fingers are bouncing all over the place? LoL 😅

[@scottybones]

I fail to see how this is THAT useful if your have a fold tho? I have a fold 6 and I use a mag safe mount on my dash (CD mounted) and have split screen maps/Apple music and it's legit sick. And then I can have it face more towards me than a cars screen would. I understand it's cool to have but maybe for a user who has a galaxy S not a fold. Ill take full use of my phone driving with split screen apps any day of the year over a cars basic infotainment system.

[@techwithbenefits]

I think where the use case for this increases is for passengers. Anyone could then cast their Samsung phones to the DeX puck and control it. For a car that doesn't offer android auto, the Fold is phenomenal for how you described it!

[@TJsVette]

Wish I would have known about this 6 months ago, or I wouldn't have bought a new radio that had a sim card slot, lol.

[@morm2173]

Genius product

[@hyrumh8305]

This unit will not scale correctly in my 2024 gmc Sierra. I wish dex wireless had more screen ratios.

[@priznuruvchrist4549]

I just got this. Its awesome! I cant express how well this works. Now Im using this in a 2025 gv80 coupe with a samsung 23 ultra. I have no lag, runs smooth. Dont have some old janky phone with a old car with an old info system and expect it to have no lag. But if you have some up to date tech, this thing is a game changer!!

[@vladzimir1000]

its great 🎉

[@-delilahlin-1598]

Lol i might start doing doordash again and play my shadow pc during the downtime. Also would be cool while car camping and doing some emultation.

[@eltiti4617]

I use ottocast tv and have an tv stick on my car so I can watch movies and have my phone free so I can use my phone any time

[@R1CK_54NCH3Z]

Dex will let you have split screen and pop-up windows with apps that Android Auto doesn't support, like obd2 engine monitoring apps

[@Ryzza5]

Tempting just to watch KZbin videos when parked but the screen is low resolution and $200 aud just for that is a bit pricey

[@SinceSpacies]

You seriously must be stalking me or something as I just had my car GPS unit totally replaced in my 2014 Corolla yesterday to give it a new lease of life and now you just post this.

[@techwithbenefits]

😅😅😅

[@adamarchuleta6787]

What if you don't have android auto

[@NotUwU-_-]

Wouldn't that make your phone degrade, since dex use 100percent of phone proccesing power, basically a pc

[@NotUwU-_-]

If you use it often i mean

[@techwithbenefits]

Nah dex isn't overly taxing on your phone, it's just screen mirroring with a different interface

[@Tehuti369]

Sold!

[@moetrain340]

Will this work on a Tesla

[@techwithbenefits]

Just on cars with Android Auto!

[@robdisobey7862]

I dont have android auto on my car, can i use this anyway ?

[@james10739]

I have never used dex or android auto i have had an android car stereo so it was just afull version of android and I just hot spotted and played KZbin

[@LOWFLYER777]

Doesn't work with BMW 😭

[@qwop0987]

So you are the reason samsung is discontinuing dex for pc.

[@techwithbenefits]

How am I the reason?

[@reylagarto87]

This is Tesla ls Territory!!!! Please Don't Die... RUN!!!

[@Al13n1nV8D3R]

Next time please clean your cars infotainment screen. Its distracting. Hard to see how clear texts are if there is a layer of dust on it.

[@techwithbenefits]

I was too excited to set it up i didn't even think about it 😅 i did later and that's why it's cleaner later on

Samsung is abandoning dex. Then what?

[@JoRosieQueen68]

They are abandoning it on PCs, so on Mac and Windows, Android auto is an entire different thing altogether

[@ivan40229]

I don't have any use for this, but I would love a a similar gadget that can turn any dumb screen into a wireless dex screen.

[@uniqueurl]

Don't jump..Dex is getting abandoned by Samsung !

[@techwithbenefits]

No it isn't. Dex for PC is no longer going to be supported from One UI 7. Samsung DeX is absolutely not going anywhere on the whole

[@uniqueurl]

@techwithbenefits are you sure sir ? Samsung is cooking something big in oui7 . Expecting a backlash. Dex support cancelling, no more side panels , god knows what else

@@alexie40stencsi5 it is a wireless android auto dongle with the ability to connect to Dex so, it seems like a good thing if you are stuck on traffic or have passengers just switch to dex and do some work or play with it
