2020 was the first model year for the Indian Challenger, and it landed with a fixed, frame-mounted fairing built around Indian's first liquid-cooled V-twin, the PowerPlus 108. That fairing houses a 7-inch Ride Command touchscreen, and right out of the gate it ran Apple CarPlay — but only over a plugged-in USB cable, with no Android Auto in the picture at all. A HogPlay USB-C bypass adaptor cuts that cord so CarPlay pairs wirelessly, and a Media Box or Piglet brings in Android Auto plus your streaming apps. It all runs through the factory USB port, nothing cut or spliced, and it comes off just as cleanly.
USB-C Bypass Required
The factory 7" Ride Command runs Apple CarPlay by USB cable only — no wireless, and no Android Auto. A HogPlay USB-C bypass makes CarPlay wireless, then a Media Box or Piglet adds Android Auto and streaming apps.

The debut 2020 Challenger introduced Indian's liquid-cooled PowerPlus 108 in a performance-bagger body, launched in four finishes: Titanium Metallic, Sandstone Smoke, Thunder Black Smoke, and White Smoke. Every one of those bikes shares the same fairing-mounted 7-inch Ride Command display and the same wired-only factory CarPlay — Android Auto was never part of the launch package. HogPlay's USB-C bypass adaptor turns that CarPlay wireless, and a Media Box or Piglet layers in Android Auto and streaming, all through the factory USB port on the PowerPlus 108. Reversible, no dealer visit, no cutting into the fairing wiring.
