An alternative to Android Screen Mirroring: Samsung DEX
Yesterday, by chance, I've found that ID6 supports Samsung Dex function
Since we can not receive an Android Auto update, for Samsung Users, DEX seems a better alternative than Screen Mirroring since it gives you more privacy and doesn't mirror all content on your phone's screen However, as opposed to screen mirroring Dex supports input devices of connected device, but iDrive controllers and touch screen didn't work in the car Has anyone tried this function? If controllers works with Dex I will be less sad about not receiving the Android Auto update

But my phone was previously saved on iDrive before with a screen Mirroring device Today I've tried it again but none of the controls (screen touch, idrive joystick roll, touchpad nothing) If somehow car controls, especially the touch function of the screen or touchpad on the idrive joystick may be made to work on Dex that would be awesome and will definitely beat the Android Auto

That would be great. Also please check if it shows fullscreen. Like the screen mirroring it doesn't show full screen and there is a considerable empty areas on the either side of the screen

Tried it out this afternoon and no go. I was only able to try with Bluetooth and although the tablet connected via Bluetooth I think as a minimum you would need a wireless connection for dex to work and I don't have an on board wireless hot spot.
