Mayton Motion has introduced a new gadget designed to enhance productivity for drivers while on the road. The innovative device, known as AutoPro X, serves as a wireless adapter that can transform the car’s navigation screen into a fully functional laptop-like display. By simply connecting the gadget via the car’s USB port, users gain access to a host of exciting features that can help make their driving experience more enjoyable and efficient.
AutoPro X operates on the Android Auto/Samsung DeX platform, making it compatible with select Samsung Galaxy models that support DeX. This compatibility allows for seamless Bluetooth pairing, enabling users to connect various devices such as game controllers and keyboards to the screen. While there are concerns about potential distractions for the driver, Mayton assures that the gadget offers features like GPS, internet browsing, video streaming, document processing, and even gaming, all with the convenience of voice recognition technology.
One standout feature of AutoPro X is its ‘Screen Select Mode,’ which gives drivers the flexibility to adjust the display size according to their preferences. Whether they prefer a full-screen view or the original screen ratio, the gadget provides customization options to cater to individual needs.
Currently available for backing on Kickstarter, AutoPro X is priced at an Early Bird rate of $140. To ensure compatibility, Mayton recommends checking if your vehicle supports wired Android Auto by connecting your phone with a cable to see if it works. If successful, the gadget should be compatible with your car. Additionally, a list of compatible phones and vehicles can be found on the Kickstarter page for reference.
While backing a crowdsourced project comes with inherent risks, AutoPro X has received overwhelming support on Kickstarter, with pledges surpassing $142,000, well above the initial $5,000 goal. This positive response indicates a strong interest in the gadget, making it a promising option for drivers looking to enhance their in-vehicle experience.
