Proton X70 facelift now supports Android Auto – First Proton with full smartphone Integration

KUALA LUMPUR:  If you’ve been keeping an eye on Proton’s official social media, you’d already know this, but for those who haven’t, here’s the update: the Proton X70 facelift finally supports Android Auto.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

    This feature has been a long time coming and is now available for the 2025 model, joining the Apple CarPlay support introduced last year.

    With this, the X70 becomes Proton’s first model to offer both systems, making smartphone integration much easier.

    The update is delivered over-the-air and supports both wired and wireless connectivity, allowing features like Google Maps to be accessed on the 12.3-inch touchscreen.

    While the X70 was designed with this functionality from the start, the delay was due to certification requirements according to Proton. However, it’s worth noting that older Proton models won’t be getting this update.

    Proton seems committed to delivering on its promise, which is good news for those eyeing the e.MAS 7.

    While the wait for comprehensive smartphone integration continues, there’s finally a timeline in sight—Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are expected to be available later this year. 

    This update will address one of the key concerns potential buyers may have, especially in a market where seamless phone connectivity has become a standard expectation.

    While it will take some time, this addition could make the e.MAS 7 a more competitive option in its segment, offering a feature that many modern drivers now consider essential.

    So, does this new addition make the X70 a more attractive option for you?

    If it does, here’s a quick overview of the Proton X70 facelift:
